- (a) a dungeoneer's pack or (b) an explorer's pack
- 10 darts
Alternatively, you can forgo the equipment here and buy 5d4 gp worth of equipment.
Unarmored Defense
1st-level Monk feature
While you aren't wearing armor or wielding a shield, your base AC can be calculated as 10 + your Dexterity score + your Wisdom score.
Martial Arts
1st-level Monk feature
Your practice of martial arts gives you mastery of combat styles that use monk weapons, which are shortswords and simple melee weapons (including unarmed attacks) that lack the two-handed and heavy properties.
You gain the following benefits while you are wielding only monk weapons and you aren't wearing armor or wielding a shield:
- You can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of your monk weapons.
- You can replace your passive Athletics score with your Martial Arts DC (see below) when determining the DC to resist your push, pull, and trip attacks, as well as escaping your grapple.
- When you roll damage for a monk weapon, you can replace the weapon's damage die (if it has one) with your Martial Arts die. This die starts as a d4 and changes as you gain monk levels, as shown in the Martial Arts Die column of the Monk table.
- When you make an offhand attack using the light property to make an unarmed strike, the attack's damage isn't halved.
Martial Arts DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Dexterity or Wisdom score (your choice)
Unarmored Movement
1st-level Monk feature
You gain a bonus to speed equal to your Monk Distance while you are not wearing armor or wielding a shield. This distance starts at 5 feet and increases as you gain monk levels, as shown in the Monk table.
Ki
2nd-level Monk feature
You can tap into a mystical energy called ki that permeates all things. Your ability to do this is represented by a number of ki points equal to your Wisdom score (minimum 1). These ki points power some of your monk features, including Ki Strikes, Deflect Attack, and Evasive Steps (detailed below). You regain expended ki points when you finish a short or long rest.
The number of ki points you have increases to 2 × your Wisdom score (minimum 2) at 5th level, 3 × your Wisdom score (minimum 3) at 9th level, 4 × your Wisdom score (minimum 4) at 13th level, and 5 × your Wisdom score (minimum 5) at 17th level.
Ki Strikes
When you hit a creature with a monk weapon, you can spend 1 ki point to subject the target to one of the following effects:
- Topple. The target must succeed on a Strength or Dexterity saving throw (its choice) against your Martial Arts DC or be knocked prone.
- Push. The target is pushed up to 5 feet away from you.
- Feint. The target flinches, using a reaction (if available) to do nothing.
Deflect Attack
When you would take damage from a weapon attack, you can use a reaction and spend 1 ki point to attempt to deflect the weapon. Reduce the attack's total bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage by a roll of your Martial Arts die + your Dexterity score. If you reduce the damage of a ranged attack to 0, you can catch the projectile if it can be held in one hand and you have at least one hand free.
Evasive Steps
When you move, you can spend 1 ki point to not provoke opportunity attacks during that movement.
Stances
3rd-level Monk feature
You flow through a variety of stances in combat. Stances allow you to channel ki more effectively.
Poise. Stances are categorized by their poise. The three basic poises are offensive, defensive, and agile. In addition to the benefits given in a stance's description, you gain extra benefits based on the stance's poise.
- While in an offensive stance, you don't need to spend a ki point to use Ki Strikes the first time you use it during that stance.
- While in a defensive stance, you don't need to spend a ki point to use Deflect Attack.
- While in an agile stance, you don't need to spend a ki point to use Evasive Steps.
Stances Known. At 2nd level, you learn two stances of your choice from the Stances table below. You learn more stances when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Stances Known column of the Monk table. You must meet a stance's level requirement in order to learn it.
Replacing a Stance. Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one stance you know in the Stances table with another, provided you meet its level requirement.
Adopting a Stance. As a free action, you can adopt a stance you know. The stance ends if you die, you are incapacitated, you adopt another stance, or you choose to end it (no action required). The stance also ends at the start of your turn unless the first action you take is adopting it again.
Each stance has a passive effect and an active effect. You benefit from a stance's passive effect as long as you are in that stance. Additionally, you can use the stance's active effect by spending ki points. The number of ki points an active effect costs is specified in the stance.
Stances
| Monk Level ▼ | Stance | Poise |
|---|---|---|
| 3rd | Standing Ram | offensive |
| 3rd | Strangling Serpent | offensive |
| 3rd | Peaceful Arbiter | defensive |
| 3rd | Seeking Hornet | offensive |
| 3rd | Patient Defense | defensive |

Monastic Tradition
3rd-level Monk feature
You commit yourself to a monastic tradition. Your tradition grants you features at 3rd level and again at 6th, 10th, and 14th level.
Way of Peace
Source: 2D
Most followers of the Way of Peace are simple wanderers, helping settle disputes and promoting harmony where they go. Some are diplomats, resolving conflicts on the scale of nations. Few call themselves adventurers, as the nature of an adventurer's job is often in conflict with the Way of Peace.However, a party of adventurers who can accept one of their members following the Way of Peace stands to benefit greatly from their presence.
Pacifist
3rd-level Way of Peace feature
It is against your nature to harm another creature. The first time on a turn you intentionally deal damage to a creature, you take 1 psychic damage. This damage ignores any resistance you have to psychic damage, but it can't reduce you to 0 hit points.
Resolution without Weapons
3rd-level Way of Peace feature
You learn the Peaceful Arbiter stance.
Soothing Touch
3rd-level Way of Peace feature
You can impart a sense of tranquility to a willing creature you touch as a repeatable minor action, granting any number of the following benefits:
- If the target has 0 hit points, it is stabilized.
- By spending 1 ki point, you cast sanctuary on the target. When cast in this way, the spell has only somatic components instead of its usual components, it has a duration of 1 hour, and you use your Martial Arts DC for the spell save DC. Additionally, for the duration of the spell, the target can roll your Martial Arts die each time it makes a saving throw and add the number rolled to its save.
- By spending 1 ki point, you cause the target to regain a number of hit points equal to a roll of your Martial Arts die + your Wisdom score.
Merciful Defeat
6th-level Way of Peace feature
You can intervene in a deadly situation to prevent unnecessary harm. When a creature within 5 feet of you would be reduced to 0 hit points, you can use a reaction to cause the creature to instead drop to 1 hit point and fall unconscious for 1 hour. You don't need to use a reaction to use this ability if you were the one who reduced the target to 0 hit points and you used an unarmed strike to do so. The creature wakes up if it takes damage or is shaken awake as a standard action. If the creature doesn't fall unconscious for any reason, this ability fails and the creature drops to 0 hit points as usual.
If you save a hostile creature in this way, you can regain 1 ki point. However, if you or an ally kills the creature within an hour of you gaining this ki point, you take psychic damage equal to twice your monk level.
Protective Deflection
10th-level Way of Peace feature
You can use your Deflect Attack ability when a creature within 5 feet of you would take damage from a weapon attack. You spend a ki point and attempt to deflect the attack as normal, reducing the damage the creature takes.
Tranquilizing Touch
14th-level Way of Peace feature
You gain the ability to forcibly calm a creature. This ability is both a Ki Strikes option and a Soothing Touch option:
- You cast calm emotions on the target. When you cast the spell in this way, it has somatic components instead of its usual components, it doesn't require concentration, its usual range doesn't apply, and you use your Martial Arts DC for the spell save DC.
Way of Piety
Source: 2D
Monks following the Way of Piety devote themselves to a life of holy servitude. These monks often are skilled in the trades of their gods and perform free labor for their community.
Spellcasting
3rd-level Way of Piety feature
You combine your powers of ki with powers of divinity.
Cantrips. You learn two cantrips of your choice from the cleric spell list. You learn an additional cleric cantrip of your choice at 10th level.
Preparing and Casting Spells. The Way of Piety Spellcasting table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a spell slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
You prepare the list of cleric spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the cleric spell list. When you do so, choose a number of cleric spells equal to the number shown in the "Spells Prepared" column of the Way of Piety Spellcasting table. The spells must be of a level for which you have Way of Piety spell slots.
For example, if you are a 7th-level Way of Piety monk, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. Your list of prepared spells can include five spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell cure wounds, you can cast it using a 1st-level or 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells.
You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest.
Spellcasting Ability. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your cleric spells, since you derive your divine powers from prayer and meditation. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom score when setting the saving throw DC for a cleric spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom score
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom score

Humble Servant
3rd-level Way of Piety feature
You gain proficiency with Religion and Persuasion. If you already had proficiency with one or both of these skills, you gain proficiency with one or two different skills of your choice.
Additionally, choose one type of artisan's tools. You gain proficiency with the chosen tools, and whenever you make ability check to which this proficiency applies, you can add your Wisdom score to the check. This would typically be a tool used as part of labor performed in the name of your god, such as smith's tools for the Greek god Hephaestus. Calligrapher's tools are also a common choice among monks who copy scriptures.
Follower of the Scriptures
3rd-level Way of Piety feature
An important part of your daily routine is to dedicate time to honor your god. This service takes 1 hour, and ideally involves serving your community using the tool you chose as part of your Humble Servant feature. Chanting and meditating are acceptable substitutes for this work, however.
Once per day when you complete this service, you gain a reserve of divine ki points. The reserve starts with a number of divine ki points equal to your Wisdom score (minimum 1). Divine ki points can be spent as normal ki points, but they can also be spent to fuel your cleric spells. When you cast a cleric spell, instead of expending a spell slot, you can spend a number of divine ki points equal to the spell's level. This reserve, and any divine ki points in it, disappear each morning.
You can perform this service as part of a short rest, but if you do so, the number of ki points the reserve starts with is halved (rounded up).
Ki-Empowered Spells
6th-level Way of Piety feature
When you hit a creature with a cleric spell you cast, or when a creature fails its saving throw against a cleric spell you cast, you can spend 1 ki point to subject the creature to one of your Ki Strikes options.
Additionally, you can add your Wisdom score to Constitution saving throws you make to maintain concentration on cleric spells you cast.
Heavenly Forms
10th-level Way of Piety feature
When you adopt a stance, you can expend a spell slot to enhance it with divine power. For the duration of the stance, you emit light (5/10 ft.) and you gain one of the benefits below of your choice:
- Your eyes and fists emit a luminous mist. You can deal radiant damage instead of bludgeoning damage with your unarmed strikes, and you gain darkvision (300 ft.). This darkvision can penetrate magical darkness.
- A glowing halo crowns your head. When an enemy that can see you starts its turn within your Monk Distance of you, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your Martial Arts DC or be taunted by you until the start of its next turn.
- Ethereal wings manifest around you, granting you a fly speed of twice your Monk Distance. This fly speed has an altitude limit of 30 feet.
Hidden Revelations
10th-level Way of Piety feature
You can cast commune when you perform the daily service described in your Follower of the Scriptures feature. When you cast the spell in this way, the duration is 1 hour, which is the hour you spend performing the service. You receive one answer at the end of every 20 minutes. The answer reveals itself to you in your work, such as an accidental blot of ink for "no," or a horse shoe fitting on the first try for a "yes." Whatever form it takes, you recognize the answer for what it is and understand its meaning.
Unwavering Dedication
14th-level Way of Piety feature
Nothing can sway you from your devotion. You gain the following benefits:
- You are immune to the charmed and frightened conditions.
- Choose Religion, Persuasion, or the artisan's tools you chose as part of your Humble Servant feature. You gain expertise in the chosen skill or tool.
- When you spend the last divine ki point in the reserve created by your Follower of the Scriptures feature, roll a d20. On a 10 or higher, you regain 1 divine ki point. If you roll a 20, you regain all of them, up to the amount the reserve started with.
Way of Shadow
Source: 2D, Player's Handbook
Followers of the Way of Shadow have a reputation for being unscrupulous and secretive. Whether or not this reputation is deserved, there is no doubt that their techniques are well-suited to unsavory business.
Shadow Arts
3rd-level Way of Shadow feature
One with the shadows, you gain the following benefits:
- You have advantage on Stealth checks while in dim light or darkness.
- You gain darkvision (60 ft.). This darkvision enables you to see through magical darkness.
- You can cast darkness once with this feature as a minor action, regaining the ability to do so when you finish a short or long rest. When you cast the spell in this way, it requires somatic components instead of its usual components, and you must spend 1 ki point at the start of each of your turns to maintain concentration on it.
Step through Shadows
6th-level Way of Shadow feature
As a minor action while in dim light or darkness, you can teleport up to twice your Monk Distance to an unoccupied space you can see that is also in dim light or darkness. You then have advantage on the first attack you make with a monk weapon before the end of the current turn.
Blend into Darkness
10th-level Way of Shadow feature
You learn the Formless Shadow stance.
Tormenting Shadows
14th-level Way of Shadow feature
When you would make an attack with a monk weapon, you can spend 1 ki point to torment the target instead. To do so, either you or the target must be in dim light or darkness. The target takes psychic damage equal to 3 rolls of your Martial Arts die and must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your Martial Arts DC or be frightened of dark spaces until the end of your next turn.
If you are in your Blend into Darkness stance, you don't need to spend a ki point the first time you use this feature on your turn.
Way of the Third Eye
Source: 2D
The Way of the Third Eye teaches methods of using ki to access powers of the mind.
True Psion
3rd-level Way of the Third Eye feature
When you cast a psionic spell, it doesn't require components.
Vision of the Third Eye
3rd-level Way of the Third Eye feature
By opening your mind's eye, you can cast detect thoughts once with this feature, regaining the ability to do so when you finish a short or long rest. Use your Martial Arts DC for the spell save DC. When you cast the spell using this feature, it is empowered in the following ways:
- Shifting your attention to another creature is a minor action instead of a standard action.
- Probing deeper into a creature's thoughts is a minor action instead of a standard action.
- The mindsense granted by the spell counts as a form of sight for the purpose of targeting creatures with your psionic spells.
When you cast the spell in this way, you can choose to manifest a third eye on your forehead for the duration. The details of this manifestation are up to you; it could be a shifting tattoo, a glowing symbol, or a literal eye.
Assault the Mind
3rd-level Way of the Third Eye feature
You learn the mind sliver cantrip. Use your Martial Arts DC for the spell save DC. You can cast the spell as a minor action against a target you've hit with an unarmed strike on the same turn. Additionally, when a creature fails its saving throw against the spell, you can spend 1 ki point to subject it to one of your Ki Strikes options.
Mental Defenses
6th-level Way of the Third Eye feature
You gain resistance to psychic damage and proficiency with Intelligence saving throws.
Pierce the Mind
10th-level Way of the Third Eye feature
Psychic damage you deal ignores damage resistance. Additionally, you can cast psychic lance once with this feature, regaining the ability to do so when you finish a short or long rest. Use your Martial Arts DC for the spell save DC. When you cast the spell in this way, you can't target a creature by name.
Revelations of the Third Eye
14th-level Way of the Third Eye feature
You can use your Visions of the Third Eye to cast detect thoughts at will. When you do so, it is empowered even further:
- When you successfully probe a creature's thoughts with it, you can glean insight into its next actions. Until the end of its next turn, the target has disadvantage on attack rolls against you, and you have advantage on saving throws against effects it creates.
- The spell doesn't end when a creature resists your probes into its mind.
Way of the Open Hand
Source: 2D
Practitioners of the Way of the Open Hand specialize in manipulating ki in themselves and others. They seem to have the ability to touch not just the body, but the soul itself.
Open Hand Technique
3rd-level Way of the Open Hand feature
You learn the Standing Ram stance. Additionally, when you hit a creature with an unarmed strike and use a Ki Strikes option that forces its target to make a Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution saving throw against your Martial Arts DC, you can change the saving throw to target Wisdom instead.
Resonant Ki
3rd-level Way of the Open Hand feature
When you hit a creature with an unarmed strike, you can create a resonance between its ki and your own. You can also create a resonance with a willing creature you touch as a minor action. Only you can detect this resonance, which lasts for 1 hour (Wisdom save vs. your Martial Arts DC ends, which the target can choose to fail). It also dissipates if you create another resonance or you stop being on the same plane of existence as the target.
If you are in a stance when you create a resonance, you can augment the resonance with one of the following effects based on the stance's poise:
- Offensive. One creature (you or the target, your choice) adds a roll of your Martial Arts die to each attack roll it makes. The other creature subtracts a roll from each attack it makes.
- Defensive. One creature (you or the target, your choice) adds a roll of your Martial Arts die to each saving throw it makes. The other creature subtracts a roll from each saving throw it makes.
- Agile. The speed of one creature (you or the target, your choice) is reduced by your Monk Distance. The other creature gains a bonus to its speed equal to your Monk Distance.
The augmentation lasts for the duration of the stance. Additionally, each time you adopt a stance while the resonance persists, you can change your choice to a different valid effect or to no effect.
If you create a resonance with yourself, it immediately ends and you take 4d12 force damage in recoil.
Once you create a resonance, you can't do so again until you finish a short or long rest.
Resonant Healing
6th-level Way of the Open Hand feature
As a standard action, you can cause a creature to regain a number of hit points equal to a roll of your Martial Arts die + your Wisdom score. The creature must be yourself or the target of your Resonant Ki.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom score (minimum once), regaining expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Trace the Ripples
10th-level Way of the Open Hand feature
You can sense a creature's location using your mutual resonance. You always know the distance and direction to the target of your Resonant Ki. This sense is precise enough that you can effectively see the target while it's within 60 feet of you, even through total cover.
Lingering Resonance
10th-level Way of the Open Hand feature
You can maintain a resonance for indefinitely long. The resonance created by your Resonant Ki no longer automatically ends after an hour, and the target doesn't make saving throws to end it until you have augmented it with a harmful effect at least once.
Lethal Cessation
14th-level Way of the Open Hand feature
As a resonance persists, the target's body and ki gradually comes to depend on it. You can exploit this dependence with lethal results. As a major action, you end a resonance created by your Resonant Ki and force the target to make a Constitution saving throw against your Martial Arts DC. The creature takes 8d12 necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a success. This damage increases by 1d12 for each hour the resonance had lasted, to a maximum of 32d12 after 24 hours.

Elemental Stances
3rd-level Way of the Four Elements feature
You can imbue your stances with elemental power. When you adopt a stance, choose Air, Earth, Fire or Water. Your choice gives you magical benefits for the duration of the stance.
Air. When you would make an unarmed strike, you can replace it with a blast of air, which is a melee spell attack. This attack has a reach of half your Monk Distance (rounded up to the nearest 5 feet), uses your Martial Arts die as its damage die, and deals bludgeoning damage. You are proficient with it, and use your Dexterity or Wisdom score (your choice) for the attack and damage roll.
Additionally, once on each of your turns when you deal damage to a creature with a monk weapon or the above attack, you can push the target up to half your Monk Distance away from you.
Earth. When you would make an unarmed strike, you can replace it with a shard of rock, which is a ranged weapon attack. This attack has a range of your Monk Distance, uses your Martial Arts die as its damage die, and deals piercing damage. You are proficient with it, and use your Dexterity or Wisdom score (your choice) for the attack and damage roll.
Additionally, once on each of your turns when you deal damage to a creature with a monk weapon or the above attack, you can create a spread of shrapnel centered at the target. Each creature within 5 feet of the target other than you and the target itself must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw against your Martial Arts DC or take piercing damage equal to a roll of your Martial Arts die.
Fire. When you would make an unarmed strike, you can replace it with a mote of fire, which is a ranged spell attack. This attack has a range of twice your Monk Distance, uses your Martial Arts die as its damage die, and deals fire damage. You are proficient with it, and use your Dexterity or Wisdom score (your choice) for the attack and damage roll.
Additionally, once on each of your turns when you deal damage to a creature with a monk weapon or the above attack, you can deal extra fire damage equal to a roll of your Martial Arts die.
Water. When you would make an unarmed strike, you can replace it with a whip of water, which is a melee spell attack. This attack has a reach of half your Monk Distance (rounded up to the nearest 5 feet), uses your Martial Arts die as its damage die, and deals slashing damage. You are proficient with it, and use your Dexterity or Wisdom score (your choice) for the attack and damage roll.
Additionally, once on each of your turns when you deal damage to a creature with a monk weapon or the above attack, you can freeze the moisture around the target, reducing its speed by an amount equal to your Monk Distance until the end of its next turn. This effect ends early if the target takes fire damage.
Elemental Infusion
6th-level Way of the Four Elements feature
You gain additional benefits depending on your stance's element.
Air. You have a hover speed with a distance equal to your Monk Distance. You can't use this speed above an altitude of twice your Monk Distance, however.
Earth. You gain tremorsense with a range equal to your Monk Distance. Additionally, you can cast earthen barrier at will, requiring no components. Instead of its usual range, you can target any creature you can sense with your tremorsense.
Fire. You have resistance against fire damage.
Water. You have a swim speed with a distance equal to twice your Monk Distance, or if you already have a swim speed, it increases by twice your Monk Distance. Additionally, when you go underwater, you can create a bubble of air around your head, allowing you to breathe.
Elemental Eruption
10th-level Way of the Four Elements feature
When you are in an elemental stance, you can focus your ki into a burst of power. You cast a spell of your choice from the options shown in the Elemental Eruption Spells table for your current stance. The spell requires somatic components instead of its usual components, and use your Martial Arts DC for the spell save DC. If the spell requires concentration, you lose concentration if you stop being in a stance imbued with the spell's element.
Immediately after the spell ends, your stance becomes unimbued with the spell's element and you can't imbue a stance with that element again until you finish a short rest. Additionally, you can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest.
Elemental Eruption Spells
| Current Element | Spells |

Transcendant Stance
17th-level Monk feature
You learn a transcendant stance of your choice, which is the culmination of your discipline. Adopting a transcendant stance costs 5 ki points and maintaining one requires concentration.

Blindsight
Blindsight
Base sense: varies
If you have blindsight, you can sense physical shapes within a specified range, allowing you to effectively see creatures and objects within that range. Blindsight doesn't go around cover, nor can it detect color or intangible things. Thus, blindsight enables you to effectively see invisible things, but you can't use it to detect an illusory object created by a spell such as minor illusion.
The base sense of blindsight varies. A common base sense is hearing, in which case blindsight can often be interpreted as echolocation. Some creatures have no base sense for their blindsight; this represents a fundamentally distinct sense, such as a shark's electroreception. When a base sense is present, it is usually given in parentheses after this sense's listing.

Climbing lets you move in any direction across vertical surfaces. If the surface is particularly difficult to climb, you may have to make an Athletics check to avoid falling off.
Jumping
Jumping
Jumping is a movement modifier that lets you clear gaps or obstacles. Instead of the usual movement cost, you must spend 1 foot of movement for every foot you jump vertically or horizontally (whichever is higher).
When you jump, perform the following series of calculations; don't round until the end. The resulting value is the maximum number of feet you can jump.
- Start with your passive Athletics. Alternatively, you can make an Athletics check and use the result instead.
- If you did not get a running start immediately before jumping, divide the value by 2. To get a running start, you must move in a straight line in the direction you want to jump for a number of feet determined by your size, as shown in the Running Start Distances table. The speed you use to get a running start must be the same speed you use to jump.
- To determine the vertical distance you can clear, divide the value by 2 again.

Each Humanoid in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on a point you choose within range must make a Wisdom saving throw; a creature can choose to fail this saving throw if it wishes. If a creature fails its saving throw, choose one of the following two effects. You can suppress any effect causing a target to be charmed, taunted, or frightened. When this spell ends, any suppressed effect resumes, provided that its duration has not expired in the meantime.
Alternatively, you can make a target indifferent about creatures of your choice that it is hostile toward. This indifference ends if the target is attacked or harmed by a spell or if it witnesses any of its friends being harmed. When the spell ends, the creature becomes hostile again, unless the DM rules otherwise.

A 10-foot-radius invisible sphere of antimagic surrounds you. This area is divorced from the magical energy that suffuses the multiverse. Within the sphere, spells can't be cast, summoned creatures disappear, and even magic items become mundane. Until the spell ends, the sphere moves with you, centered on you.
Spells and other magical effects, except those created by an artifact or a deity, are suppressed in the sphere and can't protrude into it. A slot expended to cast a suppressed spell is consumed. While an effect is suppressed, it doesn't function, but the time it spends suppressed counts against its duration.
Targeted Effects. Spells and other magical effects, such as magic missile and charm person, that target a creature or an object in the sphere have no effect on that target.
Areas of Magic. The area of another spell or magical effect, such as fireball, can't extend into the sphere. If the sphere overlaps an area of magic, the part of the area that is covered by the sphere is suppressed. For example, the flames created by a wall of fire are suppressed within the sphere, creating a gap in the wall if the overlap is large enough.
Spells. Any active spell or other magical effect on a creature or an object in the sphere is suppressed while the creature or object is in it.
Magic Items. The properties and powers of magic items are suppressed in the sphere. For example, a +1 longsword in the sphere functions as a nonmagical longsword.
A magic weapon's properties and powers are suppressed if it is used against a target in the sphere or wielded by an attacker in the sphere. If a magic weapon or a piece of magic ammunition fully leaves the sphere (for example, if you fire a magic arrow or throw a magic spear at a target outside the sphere), the magic of the item ceases to be suppressed as soon as it exits.
Magical Travel. Teleportation and planar travel fail to work in the sphere, whether the sphere is the destination or the departure point for such magical travel. A portal to another location, world, or plane of existence, as well as an opening to an extradimensional space such as that created by the mirror mansion spell, temporarily closes while in the sphere.
Creatures and Objects. A creature or object summoned or created by magic temporarily winks out of existence in the sphere. Such a creature instantly reappears once the space the creature occupied is no longer within the sphere.
Dispel Magic. Spells and magical effects such as dispel magic have no effect on the sphere. Likewise, the spheres created by different antimagic field spells don't nullify each other.

You and up to eight willing creatures within range project your astral bodies into the Astral Plane (the spell fails and the casting is wasted if you are already on that plane). The material body you leave behind is unconscious and in a state of suspended animation; it doesn't need food or air and doesn't age.
Your astral body resembles your mortal form in almost every way, replicating your game statistics and possessions. The principal difference is the addition of a silvery cord that extends from between your shoulder blades and trails behind you, fading to invisibility after 1 foot. This cord is your tether to your material body. As long as the tether remains intact, you can find your way home. If the cord is cut—something that can happen only when an effect specifically states that it does—your soul and body are separated, killing you instantly.
Your astral form can freely travel through the Astral Plane and can pass through portals there leading to any other plane. If you enter a new plane or return to the plane you were on when casting this spell, your body and possessions are transported along the silver cord, allowing you to re-enter your body as you enter the new plane. Your astral form is a separate incarnation. Any damage or other effects that apply to it have no effect on your physical body, nor do they persist when you return to it.
The spell ends for you and your companions when you use a standard action to dismiss it. When the spell ends, the affected creature returns to its physical body, and it awakens.
The spell might also end early for you or one of your companions. A successful dispel magic spell used against an astral or physical body ends the spell for that creature. If a creature's original body or its astral form drops to 0 hit points, the spell ends for that creature. If the spell ends and the silver cord is intact, the cord pulls the creature's astral form back to its body, ending its state of suspended animation.
If you are returned to your body prematurely, your companions remain in their astral forms and must find their own way back to their bodies, usually by dropping to 0 hit points.

By casting gem-inlaid sticks, rolling dragon bones, laying out ornate cards, or employing some other divining tool, you receive an omen from an otherworldly entity about the results of a specific course of action that you plan to take within the next 30 minutes. The DM chooses from the following possible omens:
- Weal, for good results
- Woe, for bad results
- Weal and woe, for both good and bad results
- Nothing, for results that aren't especially good or bad
The spell doesn't take into account any possible circumstances that might change the outcome, such as the casting of additional spells or the loss or gain of a companion.
If you cast the spell two or more times before completing your next long rest, there is a cumulative 25 percent chance for each casting after the first that you get a random reading. The DM makes this roll in secret.

If the target is native to the plane of existence you're on, you banish the target to a harmless demiplane. While there, the target is incapacitated. The target remains there until the spell ends, at which point the target reappears in the space it left or in the nearest unoccupied space if that space is occupied.
If the target is native to a different plane of existence than the one you're on, the target is banished with a faint popping noise, returning to its home plane. If the spell ends before 1 minute has passed, the target reappears in the space it left or in the nearest unoccupied space if that space is occupied. Otherwise, the target doesn't return.

- While cursed, the target has disadvantage on attack rolls against you.
- While cursed, the target must make a Wisdom saving throw at the start of each of its turns. If it fails, it wastes a standard action that turn doing nothing.
- While the target is cursed, your attacks and spells deal an extra 1d8 necrotic damage to the target.

You create a vertical wall of whirling, razor-sharp blades made of magical energy. The wall appears within range and lasts for the duration. You can make a straight wall up to 100 feet long, 20 feet high, and 5 feet thick, or a ringed wall up to 60 feet in diameter, 20 feet high, and 5 feet thick. The wall provides three-quarters cover to creatures behind it, and its space is difficult terrain.
When a creature enters the wall's area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, the creature must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 6d10 slashing damage. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage.
Cover
Cover
Walls, trees, creatures, and other obstacles can provide cover during combat, making a target more difficult to harm. A target can benefit from cover only when an attack or other effect originates on the opposite side of the cover.
There are three degrees of cover. If a target is behind multiple sources of cover, only the most protective degree of cover applies; the degrees aren't added together. For example, if a target is behind a creature that gives half cover and a tree trunk that gives three-quarters cover, the target has three-quarters cover.
Half Cover
A target with half cover has a +2 bonus to AC and Dexterity saving throws. A target has half cover if an obstacle blocks at least half of its body. The obstacle might be a low wall, a large piece of furniture, a narrow tree trunk, or a creature, whether that creature is an enemy or a friend.
Three-Quarters Cover
A target with three-quarters cover has a +5 bonus to AC and Dexterity saving throws. A target has three-quarters cover if about three-quarters of it is covered by an obstacle. The obstacle might be a portcullis, an arrow slit, or a thick tree trunk.
Total Cover
A target with total cover can't be targeted directly by an attack or a spell, although some spells can reach such a target by including it in an area of effect. A target has total cover if it is completely concealed by an obstacle.
Difficult Terrain
Difficult Terrain
Each foot traveled through an area of difficult terrain costs 1 extra foot of movement unless otherwise stated. For example, the difficult terrain created by the plant growth costs 3 extra feet of movement per foot traveled. A creature traveling through an area of overlapping sources of difficult terrain only pays the movement cost of the most expensive terrain.
Low furniture, rubble, undergrowth, steep stairs, snow, and shallow bogs are examples of difficult terrain. The space of another creature, whether hostile or not, also counts as difficult terrain.

Some typical commands and their effects follow. You might issue a command other than one described here. If you do so, the DM determines how the target behaves. If the target can't follow your command, the spell ends.
Approach. The target moves toward you by the shortest and most direct route, ending its turn if it moves within 5 feet of you.

Seizure. The creature is overcome with shaking, causing it to be slowed.
Red Death. The creature bleeds at the slightest provocation, causing it to be vulnerable to all damage.

This spell assaults and twists creatures' minds, spawning delusions and provoking uncontrolled action. Each creature in a 10-foot-radius sphere centered on a point you choose within range must succeed on an Intelligence saving throw when you cast this spell or be affected by it (save ends).
An affected target can't take reactions and must roll a d10 at the start of each of its turns to determine its behavior for that turn.
| d10 | Behavior |
|---|---|
| 1 | The creature uses all its movement to move in a random direction. To determine the direction, roll a d8 and assign a direction to each die face. The creature doesn't take a standard action this turn. |

| 7-8 | The creature uses a standard action to make a melee attack against a randomly determined creature within its reach. If there is no creature within its reach, the creature does nothing this turn. |

Until the spell ends, you control any freestanding water inside an area you choose that is a cube up to 100 feet on a side. You can choose from any of the following effects when you cast this spell. As a standard action on your turn, you can repeat the same effect or choose a different one.
Flood. You cause the water level of all standing water in the area to rise by as much as 20 feet. If the area includes a shore, the flooding water spills over onto dry land. If you choose an area in a large body of water, you instead create a 20-foot tall wave that travels from one side of the area to the other and then crashes down. Any Huge or smaller vehicles in the wave's path are carried with it to the other side. Any Huge or smaller vehicles struck by the wave have a 25 percent chance of capsizing. The water level remains elevated until the spell ends or you choose a different effect. If this effect produced a wave, the wave repeats on the start of your next turn while the flood effect lasts.
Part Water. You cause water in the area to move apart and create a trench. The trench extends across the spell's area, and the separated water forms a wall to either side. The trench remains until the spell ends or you choose a different effect. The water then slowly fills in the trench over the course of the next round until the normal water level is restored.
Redirect Flow. You cause flowing water in the area to move in a direction you choose, even if the water has to flow over obstacles, up walls, or in other unlikely directions. The water in the area moves as you direct it, but once it moves beyond the spell's area, it resumes its flow based on the terrain conditions. The water continues to move in the direction you chose until the spell ends or you choose a different effect.
Whirlpool. This effect requires a body of water at least 50 feet square and 25 feet deep. You cause a whirlpool to form in the center of the area. The whirlpool forms a vortex that is 5 feet wide at the base, up to 50 feet wide at the top, and 25 feet tall. Any creature or object in the water and within 25 feet of the vortex is pulled 10 feet toward it. A creature can swim away from the vortex by making a Strength (Athletics) check against your spell save DC. When a creature enters the vortex for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 2d8 bludgeoning damage and is caught in the vortex until the spell ends. On a successful save, the creature takes half damage, and isn't caught in the vortex. A creature caught in the vortex can use a standard action to try to swim away from the vortex as described above, but has disadvantage on the Strength (Athletics) check to do so.
The first time each turn that an object enters the vortex, the object takes 2d8 bludgeoning damage; this damage occurs each round it remains in the vortex.

The light of dawn shines down on a location you specify within range. Until the spell ends, a 30-foot-radius, 40-foot-high cylinder of bright light glimmers there. This light is sunlight.
When the cylinder appears, each creature in it must make a Constitution saving throw, taking 4d10 radiant damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A creature must also make this saving throw whenever it ends its turn in the cylinder.
If you're within 60 feet of the cylinder, you can move it up to 60 feet as a minor action on your turn.
Light
Light
There are three categories of illumination: bright light, dim light, and darkness.
A source of light typically emits bright light in a small radius and dim light in a larger radius; these distances are given in parentheses. For example, a fire that sheds light (20/40 ft.) produces bright light within 20 feet and dim light for another 20 feet beyond that.
Bright Light
Bright light lets most creatures see normally. Even gloomy days provide bright light, as do torches, lanterns, fires, and other sources of illumination within a specific radius.
Dim Light
Dim light, also called shadows, creates a lightly obscured area. An area of dim light is usually a boundary between a source of bright light, such as a torch, and surrounding darkness. The soft light of twilight and dawn also counts as dim light. A particularly brilliant full moon might bathe the land in dim light.
Darkness
Darkness creates a heavily obscured area. Characters face darkness outdoors at night (even most moonlit nights), within the confines of an unlit dungeon or a subterranean vault, or in an area of magical darkness.

If you chose a point on an object you are holding or one that isn't being worn or carried, the light shines from the object and moves with it. Completely covering the affected object with an opaque object, such as a bowl or a helm, blocks the light.
If any of this spell's area overlaps with an area of darkness created by a spell of 3rd level or lower, the spell that created the darkness is dispelled.

Shimmering energy surrounds and protects you from outerplanar entities, which for the purposes of this spell includes Celestials, Elementals, Fey, Fiends, and Undead. For the duration, outerplanar entities have disadvantage on attack rolls against you.
You can end the spell early by using either of the following special functions.
Break Enchantment. As a standard action, you touch a creature you can reach that is charmed, frightened, or possessed by an outerplanar entity. The creature you touch is no longer charmed, frightened, or possessed by such creatures.
Dismissal. As a standard action, make a melee spell attack against an outerplanar entity within reach. On a hit, you attempt to drive the creature back to its home plane. The creature must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or be sent back to its home plane (if it isn't there already). If they aren't on their home plane, Undead are sent to the Shadowfell, and Fey are sent to the Feywild.

Your magic and an offering put you in contact with a god or a god's servants. You ask a single question concerning a specific goal, event, or activity to occur within 7 days. The DM offers a truthful reply. The reply might be a short phrase, a cryptic rhyme, or an omen.
The spell doesn't take into account any possible circumstances that might change the outcome, such as the casting of additional spells or the loss or gain of a companion.
If you cast the spell two or more times before finishing your next long rest, there is a cumulative 25 percent chance for each casting after the first that you get a random reading. The DM makes this roll in secret.

- 40 hit points or fewer: deafened and blinded for 10 minutes
- 30 hit points or fewer: blinded, deafened, and stunned for 1 hour

Regardless of its current hit points, a Celestial, an Elemental, a Fey, or a Fiend that fails its save is forced back to its plane of origin (if it isn't there already) and can't return to your current plane for 24 hours by any means short of divine intervention.

You create a seismic disturbance at a point on the ground that you can see within range. For the duration, an intense tremor rips through the ground in a 100-foot-radius circle centered on that point and shakes creatures and structures in contact with the ground in that area.
The ground in the area becomes difficult terrain. Each creature on the ground that is concentrating must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature's concentration is broken.
When you cast this spell and at the end of each turn you spend concentrating on it, each creature on the ground in the area must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is knocked prone.
This spell can have additional effects depending on the terrain in the area, as determined by the DM.
Fissures. Fissures open throughout the spell's area at the start of your next turn after you cast the spell. A total of 1d6 such fissures open in locations chosen by the DM. Each is 1d10 × 10 feet deep, 10 feet wide, and extends from one edge of the spell's area to the opposite side. A creature standing on a spot where a fissure opens must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or fall in. A creature that successfully saves moves with the fissure's edge as it opens.
A fissure that opens beneath a structure causes it to automatically collapse (see below).
Structures. The tremor deals 50 bludgeoning damage to any structure in contact with the ground in the area when you cast the spell and at the start of each of your turns until the spell ends. If a structure drops to 0 hit points, it collapses and potentially damages nearby creatures. A creature within half the distance of a structure's height must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 5d6 bludgeoning damage, is knocked prone, and is buried in the rubble, requiring a DC 20 Strength (Athletics) check as a standard action to escape. The DM can adjust the DC higher or lower, depending on the nature of the rubble. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and doesn't fall prone or become buried.

You step into the border regions of the Ethereal Plane, in the area where it overlaps with your current plane. You remain in the Border Ethereal for the duration or until you use a standard action to dismiss the spell. During this time, you can move in any direction. If you move up or down, every foot of movement costs an extra foot. You can see and hear the plane you originated from, but everything there looks gray, and you can't see anything more than 60 feet away.
While on the Ethereal Plane, you can only affect and be affected by other creatures on that plane. Creatures that aren't on the Ethereal Plane can't perceive you and can't interact with you, unless a special ability or magic has given them the ability to do so.
You ignore all objects and effects that aren't on the Ethereal Plane, allowing you to move through objects you perceive on the plane you originated from.
When the spell ends, you immediately return to the plane you originated from in the spot you currently occupy. If you occupy the same spot as a solid object or creature when this happens, you are immediately shunted to the nearest unoccupied space that you can occupy and take force damage equal to twice the number of feet you are moved.
This spell has no effect if you cast it while you are on the Ethereal Plane or a plane that doesn't border it, such as one of the Outer Planes.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 8th level or higher, you can target up to three willing creatures (including you) for each slot level above 7th. The creatures must be within 10 feet of you when you cast the spell.

If you name a destination on another plane of existence, a destination that moves (such as a mobile fortress), or a destination that isn't specific (such as "a green dragon's lair"), the spell fails.

A trap, for the purpose of this spell, includes anything that would inflict a sudden or unexpected effect you consider harmful or undesirable, which was specifically intended as such by its creator. Thus, the spell would sense an area affected by the alarm spell, a glyph of warding, or a mechanical pit trap, but it would not reveal a natural weakness in the floor, an unstable ceiling, or a hidden sinkhole.
This spell merely reveals that a trap is present. You don't learn the location of each trap, but you do learn the general nature of the danger posed by a trap you sense.

You create a ward against magical travel that protects up to 40,000 square feet of floor space to a height of 30 feet above the floor. For the duration, creatures can't teleport into the area or use portals, such as those created by the gate spell, to enter the area. The spell proofs the area against planar travel, and therefore prevents creatures from accessing the area by way of the Astral Plane, Ethereal Plane, Feywild, Shadowfell, or the plane shift spell.
In addition, the spell damages types of creatures that you choose when you cast it. Choose one or more of the following: Celestial, Elementals, Fey, Fiends, and Undead. When a chosen creature enters the spell's area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, the creature takes 5d10 radiant or necrotic damage (your choice when you cast this spell).
When you cast this spell, you can designate a password. A creature that speaks the password as it enters the area takes no damage from the spell.
The spell's area can't overlap with the area of another forbiddance spell. If you cast forbiddance every day for 30 days in the same location, the spell lasts until it is dispelled, and the material components are consumed on the last casting.

You conjure a portal linking an unoccupied space you can see within range to a precise location on a different plane of existence. The portal is a circular opening, which you can make 5 to 20 feet in diameter. You can orient the portal in any direction you choose. The portal lasts for the duration.
The portal has a front and a back on each plane where it appears. Travel through the portal is possible only by moving through its front. Anything that does so is instantly transported to the other plane, appearing in the unoccupied space nearest to the portal.
Deities and other planar rulers can prevent portals created by this spell from opening in their presence or anywhere within their domains.
When you cast this spell, you can speak the name of a specific creature (a pseudonym, title, or nickname doesn't work). If that creature is on a plane other than the one you are on, the portal opens in the named creature's immediate vicinity and draws the creature through it to the nearest unoccupied space on your side of the portal. You gain no special power over the creature, and it is free to act as the DM deems appropriate. It might leave, attack you, or help you.

You place a magical command on a creature that you can see within range, forcing it to carry out some service or refrain from some action or course of activity as you decide. If the creature can understand you, it must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or become cursed for the duration. While cursed in this way, the target is charmed by you. A creature is unaffected by the spell if it can't understand you or is immune to being charmed.
You can issue any command you choose to the charmed target, short of an activity that would result in certain death. Should you issue a suicidal command, the spell ends. Otherwise, if the target acts in a manner directly counter to your instructions, it takes 5d10 psychic damage. The target can't take this damage more than once per day.
You can end the spell early as a standard action.

When you cast this spell, you inscribe a glyph that potentially harms other creatures, either upon a surface (such as a table or a section of floor or wall) or within an object that can be closed (such as a book, a scroll, or a treasure chest) to conceal the glyph. The glyph can cover an area no larger than 10 feet in diameter. If the surface or object is moved more than 10 feet from where you cast this spell, the glyph is broken, and the spell ends without being triggered.
The glyph is nearly invisible, requiring a successful Investigation check against your spell save DC to find it.
You decide what triggers the glyph when you cast the spell. For glyphs inscribed on a surface, the most typical triggers include touching or standing on the glyph, removing another object covering the glyph, approaching within a certain distance of the glyph, or manipulating the object on which the glyph is inscribed. For glyphs inscribed within an object, the most common triggers include opening that object, approaching within a certain distance of the object, or seeing or reading the glyph. Once a glyph is triggered, this spell ends.
You can further refine the trigger so the spell activates only under certain circumstances or according to physical characteristics (such as height or weight), creature kind (for example, the ward could be set to affect Aberrations or goblins), or alignment. You can also set conditions for creatures that don't trigger the glyph, such as those who say a certain password.
When you inscribe the glyph, choose explosive runes or a spell glyph.
Explosive Runes. When triggered, the glyph erupts with magical energy in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on the glyph. The sphere spreads around corners. Each creature in the area must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 5d8 acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage on a failed saving throw (your choice when you create the glyph), or half as much damage on a successful one.
Spell Glyph. You can store a prepared spell of 3rd level or lower in the glyph by casting it as part of creating the glyph. The spell must target a single creature or an area. The spell being stored has no immediate effect when cast in this way. When the glyph is triggered, the stored spell is cast. If the spell has a target, it targets the creature that triggered the glyph. If the spell affects an area, the area is centered on that creature. If the spell summons hostile creatures or creates harmful objects or traps, they appear as close as possible to the intruder and attack it. If the spell requires concentration, it lasts until the end of its full duration.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage of an explosive runes glyph increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 3rd. If you create a spell glyph, you can store any spell of up to the same level as the slot you use for the glyph of warding.

You touch a point and infuse an area around it with holy (or unholy) power. The area can have a radius up to 60 feet, and the spell fails if the radius includes an area already under the effect a hallow spell. The affected area is subject to the following effects.
First, Celestials, Elementals, Fey, Fiends, and Undead can't enter the area, nor can such creatures charm, frighten, or possess creatures within it. Any creature charmed, frightened, or possessed by such a creature is no longer charmed, frightened, or possessed upon entering the area. You can exclude one or more of those types of creatures from this effect.
Second, you can bind an extra effect to the area. Choose the effect from the following list, or choose an effect offered by the DM. Some of these effects apply to creatures in the area; you can designate whether the effect applies to all creatures, creatures that follow a specific deity or leader, or creatures of a specific sort, such as orcs or trolls. When a creature that would be affected enters the spell's area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it can make a Charisma saving throw. On a success, the creature ignores the extra effect until it leaves the area.
Courage. Affected creatures can't be frightened while in the area.
Darkness. Darkness fills the area. Normal light, as well as magical light created by spells of a lower level than the slot you used to cast this spell, can't illuminate the area.
Daylight. Bright light fills the area. Magical darkness created by spells of a lower level than the slot you used to cast this spell can't extinguish the light.
Energy Protection. Affected creatures in the area have resistance to one damage type of your choice, except for bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing.
Energy Vulnerability. Affected creatures in the area have vulnerability to one damage type of your choice, except for bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing.
Everlasting Rest. Dead bodies interred in the area can't be turned into Undead creatures.
Extradimensional Interference. Affected creatures can't move or travel using teleportation or by extradimensional or interplanar means.
Fear. Affected creatures are frightened while in the area.
Silence. No sound can emanate from within the area, and no sound can reach into it.
Tongues. Affected creatures can communicate with any other creature in the area, even if they don't share a common language.

Name or describe a person, place, or object. The spell brings to your mind a brief summary of the significant lore about the thing you named. The lore might consist of current tales, forgotten stories, or even secret lore that has never been widely known. If the thing you named isn't of legendary importance, you gain no information. The more information you already have about the thing, the more precise and detailed the information you receive is.
The information you learn is accurate but might be couched in figurative language. For example, if you have a mysterious magic axe on hand, the spell might yield this information: "Woe to the evildoer whose hand touches the axe, for even the haft slices the hand of the evil ones. Only a true Child of Stone, lover and beloved of Moradin, may awaken the true powers of the axe, and only with the sacred word Rudnogg on the lips."

The spell can locate a specific creature or object known to you, or the nearest creature or object of a specific kind (such as a human or a piece of furniture), so long as you have seen such a target up close—within 30 feet—at least once. If the target you described or named is in a different form, such as being under the effects of a polymorph spell, this spell doesn't locate it.
This spell can't locate an creature or object if any thickness of lead, even a thin sheet, blocks a direct path between you and the target.

You create a 10-foot-radius, 20-foot-tall cylinder of magical energy centered on a point on the ground that you can see within range. Glowing runes appear wherever the cylinder intersects with the floor or other surface.
Choose one or more of the following types of creatures: Celestials, Elementals, Fey, Fiends, or Undead. The circle affects a creature of the chosen type in the following ways:
- The creature can't willingly enter the cylinder by nonmagical means. If the creature tries to use teleportation or interplanar travel to do so, it must first succeed on a Charisma saving throw.
- The creature has disadvantage on attack rolls against targets within the cylinder.
- Targets within the cylinder can't be charmed, frightened, or possessed by the creature.
When you cast this spell, you can elect to cause its magic to operate in the reverse direction, preventing a creature of the specified type from leaving the cylinder and protecting targets outside it.

You step into a stone object or surface large enough to fully contain your body, melding yourself and all the equipment you carry with the stone for the duration.

While merged with the stone, you can't see what occurs outside it, and any Wisdom (Perception) checks you make to hear sounds outside it are made with disadvantage. You remain aware of the passage of time and can cast spells on yourself while merged in the stone. You can use your movement to leave the stone where you entered it, which ends the spell. You otherwise can't move.
Minor physical damage to the stone doesn't harm you, but its partial destruction or a change in its shape (to the extent that you no longer fit within it) expels you and deals 6d6 bludgeoning damage to you. The stone's complete destruction (or transmutation into a different substance) expels you and deals 50 bludgeoning damage to you. If expelled, you fall prone in an unoccupied space closest to where you first entered.

With this spell, you attempt to bind a Celestial, an Elemental, a Fey, or a Fiend to your service. The creature must be within range for the entire casting of the spell. (Typically, the creature is first summoned into the center of an inverted magic circle in order to keep it trapped while this spell is cast.) At the completion of the casting, the target must make a Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, it is bound to serve you for the duration. If the creature was summoned or created by another spell, that spell's duration is extended to match the duration of this spell.
A bound creature must follow your instructions to the best of its ability. You might command the creature to accompany you on an adventure, to guard a location, or to deliver a message. The creature obeys the letter of your instructions, but if the creature is hostile to you, it strives to twist your words to achieve its own objectives. If the creature carries out your instructions completely before the spell ends, it travels to you to report this fact if you are on the same plane of existence. If you are on a different plane of existence, it returns to the place where you bound it and remains there until the spell ends.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of a higher level, the duration increases to 10 days with a 6th-level slot, to 30 days with a 7th-level slot, to 180 days with an 8th-level slot, and to a year and a day with a 9th-level spell slot.

If you are trying to reach the City of Brass, for example, you might arrive in its Street of Steel, before its Gate of Ashes, or looking at the city from across the Sea of Fire, at the DM's discretion.
Alternatively, if you know the sigil sequence of a teleportation circle on another plane of existence, this spell can take you to that circle. If the teleportation circle is too small to hold all the creatures you transported, they appear in the closest unoccupied spaces next to the circle.
You can use this spell to banish an unwilling creature to another plane. Choose a creature within your reach and make a melee spell attack against it. On a hit, the creature must make a Charisma saving throw. If the creature fails this save, it is transported to a random location on the plane of existence you specify. A creature so transported must find its own way back to your current plane of existence.

You return a dead creature you touch to life, provided that it has been dead no longer than 10 days. If the creature's soul is both willing and at liberty to rejoin the body, the creature returns to life with 1 hit point.
This spell also neutralizes any poisons and cures nonmagical diseases that affected the creature at the time it died. This spell doesn't, however, remove magical diseases, curses, or similar effects; if these aren't first removed prior to casting the spell, they take effect when the creature returns to life. The spell can't return an Undead creature to life.
This spell closes all mortal wounds, but it doesn't restore missing body parts. If the creature is lacking body parts or organs integral for its survival—its head, for instance—the spell automatically fails.
Coming back from the dead is an ordeal. The target takes a -4 penalty to all attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks. Every time the target finishes a long rest, the penalty is reduced by 1 until it disappears.

You can see and hear a particular creature you choose that is on the same plane of existence as you. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw, which is modified by how well you know the target and the sort of physical connection you have to it. If a target knows you're casting this spell, it can fail the saving throw voluntarily if it wants to be observed.
| Knowledge | Save Modifier |

| Secondhand (you have heard of the target) | +5 |

| Body part, lock of hair, bit of nail, or the like | -10 |
On a successful save, the target isn't affected, and you can't use this spell against it again for 24 hours.
On a failed save, the spell creates an invisible sensor within 10 feet of the target. You can see and hear through the sensor as if you were there. The sensor moves with the target, remaining within 10 feet of it for the duration. A creature that can see invisible objects sees the sensor as a luminous orb about the size of your fist.
Instead of targeting a creature, you can choose a location you have seen before as the target of this spell. When you do, the sensor appears at that location and doesn't move.

You grant the semblance of life and intelligence to a corpse of your choice within range, allowing it to answer the questions you pose. The corpse must still have a mouth and can't be Undead. The spell fails if the corpse was the target of this spell within the last 10 days.
Until the spell ends, you can ask the corpse up to five questions. The corpse knows only what it knew in life, including the languages it knew. Answers are usually brief, cryptic, or repetitive, and the corpse is under no compulsion to offer a truthful answer if you are hostile to it or it recognizes you as an enemy. This spell doesn't return the creature's soul to its body, only its animating spirit. Thus, the corpse can't learn new information, doesn't comprehend anything that has happened since it died, and can't speculate about future events.

You summon a celestial being of your choice: a guardian, avenger, or arbiter. It appears in an unoccupied space that you can see within range. The creature has the Companion trait in addition to its usual traits.
The celestial disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends. If you expend the material components when you cast the spell and concentrate on it for the full duration, the celestial loses the Companion trait and does not disappear.
Variant: Matching Your Religion
Depending on your religion, radiant may not be the most appropriate damage type for the celestials summoned by this spell to deal. The DM may change the damage types accordingly. Similarly, the DM may change the summoned celestial's language to better suit the setting.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, use the higher level wherever the spell's level appears in the stat block.

A creature with the Companion trait follows the commands of its leader, which is another creature. The companion is friendly to its leader and its leader's allies.
In combat, the companion shares a turn with its leader. The companion has its own action points and movement, although it doesn't roll initiative and can interleave its actions with its leader's actions. A companion can use reactions on its own, but it doesn't take any action that targets a creature other than itself unless its leader uses the Command action to instruct it to do so. If the leader is incapacitated or unable to contact the companion, the companion can take any actions of its choice.

When you cast this spell, you inscribe a harmful glyph either on a surface (such as a section of floor, a wall, or a table) or within an object that can be closed to conceal the glyph (such as a book, a scroll, or a treasure chest). If you choose a surface, the glyph can cover an area of the surface no larger than 10 feet in diameter. If you choose an object, that object must remain in its place; if the object is moved more than 10 feet from where you cast this spell, the glyph is broken, and the spell ends without being triggered.
The glyph is nearly invisible, requiring a successful Investigation check against your spell save DC to find it.
You decide what triggers the glyph when you cast the spell. For glyphs inscribed on a surface, the most typical triggers include touching or stepping on the glyph, removing another object covering it, approaching within a certain distance of it, or manipulating the object that holds it. For glyphs inscribed within an object, the most common triggers are opening the object, approaching within a certain distance of it, or seeing or reading the glyph.
You can further refine the trigger so the spell is activated only under certain circumstances or according to a creature's physical characteristics (such as height or weight), or physical kind (for example, the ward could be set to affect hags or shapechangers). You can also specify creatures that don't trigger the glyph, such as those who say a certain password.
When you inscribe the glyph, choose one of the options below for its effect. Once triggered, the glyph glows, filling a 60-foot-radius sphere with dim light for 10 minutes, after which time the spell ends. Each creature in the sphere when the glyph activates is targeted by its effect, as is a creature that enters the sphere for the first time on a turn or ends its turn there.
Death. Each target must make a Constitution saving throw, taking 10d10 necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful save.
Discord. Each target must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a target bickers and argues with other creatures for 1 minute. During this time, it is incapable of meaningful communication and has disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks.
Fear. Each target must make a Wisdom saving throw and becomes frightened for 1 minute on a failed save. While frightened, the target drops whatever it is holding and must move at least 30 feet away from the glyph on each of its turns, if able.
Hopelessness. Each target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the target is overwhelmed with despair for 1 minute. During this time, it can't attack or target any creature with harmful abilities, spells, or other magical effects.
Insanity. Each target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the target is driven insane for 1 minute. An insane creature can't take actions, can't understand what other creatures say, can't read, and speaks only in gibberish. The DM controls its movement, which is erratic.
Pain. Each target must make a Constitution saving throw and becomes incapacitated with excruciating pain for 1 minute on a failed save.
Sleep. Each target must make a Wisdom saving throw and falls unconscious for 10 minutes on a failed save. A creature awakens if it takes damage or if someone uses a standard action to shake or slap it awake.
Stunning. Each target must make a Wisdom saving throw and becomes stunned for 1 minute on a failed save.

You cause a temple to shimmer into existence on ground you can see within range. The temple must fit within an unoccupied cube of space, up to 120 feet on each side. The temple remains until the spell ends. It is dedicated to whatever god, pantheon, or philosophy is represented by the holy symbol used in the casting.
You make all decisions about the temples appearance. The interior is enclosed by a floor, walls, and a roof, with one door granting access to the interior and as many windows as you wish. Only you and any creatures you designate when you cast the spell can open or close the door.
The temple's interior is an open space with an idol or altar at one end. You decide whether the temple is illuminated and whether that illumination is bright light or dim light. The smell of burning incense fills the air within, and the temperature is mild.
The temple opposes types of creatures you choose when you cast this spell. Choose one or more of the following: Celestials, Elementals, Fey, Fiends, or Undead. If a creature of the chosen type attempts to enter the temple, that creature must make a Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, it can't enter the temple for 24 hours. Even if the creature can enter the temple, the magic there hinders it; whenever it makes an attack roll, an ability check, or a saving throw inside the temple, it must roll a d4 and subtract the number rolled from the d20 roll.
In addition, the sensors created by divination spells can't appear inside the temple, and creatures within can't be targeted by divination spells.
Finally, whenever any creature in the temple regains hit points from a spell of 1st level or higher, the creature regains additional hit points equal to your spellcasting ability score (minimum 1 hit point).
The temple is made from opaque magical force that extends into the Ethereal Plane, thus blocking ethereal travel into the temples interior. Nothing can physically pass through the temple's exterior. It can't be dispelled by dispel magic, and antimagic field has no effect on it. A disintegrate spell destroys the temple instantly.
Casting this spell on the same spot every day for a year makes this effect permanent.

The spell's damage increases by one die when you reach 5th level (2d6 or 2d10), 11th level (3d6 or 3d10), and 17th level (4d6 or 4d10).

If the point you choose is on an object you are holding or one that isn't being worn or carried, the darkness emanates from the object and moves with it. Completely covering the source of the darkness with an opaque object, such as a bowl or a helm, blocks the darkness.

You gain mindsense (30 ft.) for the duration.
When you cast the spell and as a standard action on each turn until the spell ends, you can focus your mind on a particular creature that you can sense with mindsense to learn its surface thoughts (what is most on its mind at that moment). As a subsequent standard action, you can attempt to probe deeper into that creature's mind. If you probe deeper, the target must make an Intelligence saving throw. If it fails, you gain insight into its reasoning (if any), its emotional state, and something that looms large in its mind (such as something it worries over, loves, or hates). If it succeeds, the spell ends. Either way, the target knows that you are probing into its mind, and unless you shift your attention to another creature's thoughts, the creature can use a standard action on its turn to make an Intelligence check contested by your Intelligence check; if it succeeds, the spell ends.
Questions verbally directed at the target creature naturally shape the course of its thoughts, so this spell is particularly effective as part of an interrogation.

A nonmagical wall of solid stone springs into existence at a point you choose within range. The wall is 6 inches thick and is composed of ten 10-foot-by-10-foot panels. Each panel must be contiguous with at least one other panel. Alternatively, you can create 10-foot-by-20-foot panels that are only 3 inches thick.
If the wall cuts through a creature's space when it appears, the creature is pushed to one side of the wall (your choice). If a creature would be surrounded on all sides by the wall (or the wall and another solid surface), that creature can make a Dexterity saving throw. On a success, it can use a reaction to move up to its speed so that it is no longer enclosed by the wall.
The wall can have any shape you desire, though it can't occupy the same space as a creature or object. The wall doesn't need to be vertical or rest on any firm foundation. It must, however, merge with and be solidly supported by existing stone. Thus, you can use this spell to bridge a chasm or create a ramp.
If you create a span greater than 20 feet in length, you must halve the size of each panel to create supports. You can crudely shape the wall to create crenellations, battlements, and so on.
The wall is an object made of stone that can be damaged and thus breached. Each panel has AC 15 and 30 hit points per inch of thickness. Reducing a panel to 0 hit points destroys it and might cause connected panels to collapse at the DM's discretion.
If you maintain your concentration on this spell for its whole duration, the wall becomes permanent and can't be dispelled. Otherwise, the wall disappears when the spell ends.

Concentration
Concentration
Some spells and other effects require you to maintain concentration in order to keep them active. If you lose concentration, such an effect ends. You can also choose to end concentration on any effect at any time (no action required).
If a spell must be maintained with concentration, that fact appears in its Duration entry, and the spell specifies how long you can concentrate on it.
Normal activity, such as moving and attacking, doesn't interfere with concentration. The following factors can break concentration:
- You lose concentration if you invoke another effect that requires concentration. You can't concentrate on two effects at once.
- Whenever you take damage while you are concentrating, you must make a Constitution saving throw to maintain your concentration. The DC equals 10 or half the damage you take, whichever number is higher. If you take damage from multiple sources, such as an arrow and a dragon's breath, you make a separate saving throw for each source of damage.
- You lose concentration on an effect if you are incapacitated or if you die.
- Certain environmental phenomena, such as a wave crashing over you while you're on a storm-tossed ship, may require you to succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw to maintain concentration. This is at your DM's discretion.
