what exactly are you worried about? A wizard getting access to well, a utility spell, without having to smoosh and booze the local archmage?? I dont really see the BIG GLARING problem with being able to cast anyspell (as if players wanted they would anyway, i mean clerics know anyspell so...

Well making optiamal use of ones actions is where its at (especially at hiher level play)... if your fighting other casters its just good practice to svae your reaction for counterspell or sheild but there are other notable usages (like some teleport moves). I mean if your expendig your rection...

10-20 people half od which dont understand the spell and WHO HAVENT EVEN RAN the spell in any campaign... hardly compelling evidence (and also I have changed it somewhat)

Well I ADDED THE REACTION TO B A COST (A TAX on your action economy; its intended as a severe limit to its power.... but more Ithi about i I am going to integrate ready spell mechanics into the spell and make it an action and specifiy a PARTICULAR DYNAMIC between ready spel and this spell; if...

I can just USE READY spell mechanics actually and make the spell 1 action... (I would have to reword itof course)

We have triggers that sound like "when a creature within 30ft makes an attack roll" (a bloodhunter ability). Well I CAN TRIGGER THAT MYSELF BY HITTING MY LEG if I wanted)... "when a creature drinks a potion" is surely a good trigger "when a craeture ues [insert object]" is a fine trigger EDIT...

No the point is PICK your trigger; it could be when an enemy casting a spell, ec. (I will have to hthink about an appropriate trigger mysef; but the possible triggerrs are various in the game... if yo u had to use your object and use your reaction all in one round that is a steep cost (reacted...

There are mechanics like this...

Wait a minute reactions spells DO SPECIFY THE TRIGGER in the spell.. that is alll I meant... create any trigger you want... My point is that the trigger CAN be there (and that was an oversight on my part when I wrote it the first time)... Making it trigger at the end of a creatures turn after...

You may misunderstand how te spell woks... you still must pay the component and action cost of the spell you cast using anyspell....

Yeah... Which I dont think anything game breaking or overpowered occurs... outside of combat I have found players will find a way (anyspell or not; anyspell could very well expedite things in a desirable way, and not the opposite, idk really; I do want to run it though, havent yet)

I meant when it comes to USING you NNTH level slot... of course anyspell is good have have prepared! EDIT: I wasnt saying wish is BETTER OVERALL than anyspell; but that cast as a ninth level spell , wish is superior... Anyspell is SURELY more versatile, like counterspelll...

I dont think it does any of those things and would lke to hear your reasons for the above (except maybe "doesnt fix the broken" as that is not a desiderata of mine). As a note, I intended this spell to be available to any class and didnt change that in the description. Also, I am thinking about...

Low level spells can be good if cast at higher levels (its part of the game; think counterspell or dispellmagic, arguable the two most powerful spells in the game). Anyway, this spell is SIGNIFICANTLY WEAKER than wish (it requires a reaction and cant do other stuff than emulate 8th level...

Thank you all for your responses. I dont know I tend to think that the reaction cost is steeeep... Using this spell would be a suboptimal choice in combat. in most cases. But the discussion above has lead me to change the spell in various ways....

Oh crap yeah that is potentially a problem. I want the spell to be one that you dont have prepared nor one that you know, but the situation you point out wasnt desirable. I would want to limit it o a spell that is on your list and that you can prepare or learn (or know) neither cleric 5 nor...

yeah it would trigger (IMO; I have done exactly this, outside of combat, its on of my joys of playing really!); do a control freefall until the last minute use your move to well NOT MOVE reaction to cast featherfall and action to acttack; you would most likely have to figure out freefall seed...

No you must expend a level 2 spell slot (and an reaction) to cast the spell itself.

yeah I may just do that. My Emphasis.

Thanks for the above comments! I would still say that a dog sniffing out a fugitive is an active check (there are active checks afterall, they happen sometime and that would be a good candidate; which I am aware that you didnt actually say the hunting dogs were passively perceiving; you were...
