Sorry, one additional side question: when I read the description I assumed you could cast this spell for yourself or anyone else. It has a range of 30 feet (not self) and it never specifically says you can't cast it for other people, although all the language talks about "you" and "your"...

So, completely ignoring the whole "range (self)" question that is really just a sideshow in my opinion, this spell really doesn't seem to have any kind of specific limit or even much of an implied one on what can be used as a steed, other than pure "DM fiat." It gives a few examples and uses...

Oh my god the forum ate my reply TWICE. Super short version: good idea, thanks!

The OP has a fair point. Marvel is already fatiguing audiences on its own brand, so of course the DC Johnny-come-lately movies are going to do poorly by contrast and people are going to be tired of them before they even come out. I think that's why DC is trying to do movies that are much more...

And I still only bought on 3rd party sites that gave me the option of which one I wanted instead of buying direct - which was also annoying because of the pretend idea that there is a "rarity" to certain minis, artificially driving up their price. (Like how diamonds are overvalued because they...

I think some of you are missing the idea that I actually want the party to succeed... to the point that I'm asking the D&D hive mind for advice to help them out! I hadn't really thought about it much because this is just an "in between" part between two more interesting bits (fighting the...

And don't forget "The Conjuring 2!" Yeaaaaaah. That pretty much dashed all my hopes of getting decent movie. Also, why did they say "this beloved property can finally make its way to the big screen after 20 years" when they made another D&D movie 15 years ago?

Thanks a bunch. Just wanted to say I really, really hate this style of delivery. When I want a mini, I want a specific one. This just means I'll only buy them off ebay or some indirect way. :(

Ok, here's my idea: A special version of "sleep" called "Wynken's Slumber Party" - a ritual that takes 10 minutes to cast and lasts for 24 hours - requires at least 3 and as many as 5 people - each participant must use a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd level spell slot / points - each participant contributes...

The 6th spell level Flesh to Stone is the lowest I could find - also it lasts 1 minute. Prismatic spray could also do it, but it's super random to say the least. Maybe if you hired a cadre of 3rd level enchanters... It has a terrible Wis save (+0) but getting a 5th level scroll would be hard...

Polymorph isn't too far out of the question, but it only lasts an hour. I guess you could polymorph them into something particularly bad at wisdom saves and then charm them? Still, the main issue is the length of the spell time. It's also putting a decent amount of resources (getting a 4th...

So these look like they come in MtG-style "random boxes" - is that what other people are getting as well? (Unless your retailer just opens the boxes and sells them one-by-one of course.)

Not a bad idea! I like it, although it would take some serious role-playing and/or bluff checks and it's a bit all-or-nothing. Still, it's within their power range. This is another good thought, and it would definitely require a bunch of skill checks as well, as you said. It's a little...

How would you transport, say, a large (young) dragon over several hundred miles? Assume it was captured and unwilling, and the party is only about level 5 or 6 (access to 3rd level spells). Some spells might be available to hire from a nearby city, but they might have restrictions as well...

Edit: Just necroing this thread to see if anyone has heard anything along these lines. The consensus last time seemed to be that WotC had done the math and decided it was better to not risk cannibalizing even a tiny fraction of FLGS book sales with pdfs (possibly with the retail stores having...

Thinking about it more, I like making pixies CR 1 the best. Casting fly or invisibility on up to 4 creatures is a 6th level spell slot; getting 4 pixies to do it for you would also be a 6th level spell slot. Seems about right. The other issue is polymorph, though. Giant apes have 157 HP and...

That's why I think it's better to avoid this conflict altogether and just fix the spell, not leave the wonky power imbalance up to each table to adjudicate every time it's cast.

Well, I think you're wrong on that, but it's completely subjective, so we can't really argue any more than we already have. I guess we've been skirting around an actual list, so for the record, here's what you can summon: - 2 dryad, CR 1, can talk to plants/animals and cast barkskin, and can...

Ok, my party of four flying CR 7 ape monsters (obtained at level 7) isn't spectacularly more useful than four satyrs? Eh, whatever you want, but I think I'll take the ape monsters. :)

Well obviously I disagree, and I think there's a big gap between "fix your table's dynamic" and "make a rule that isn't easily abused." But whatever. I just think this is a poor fix to a bad spell. (I promise my entire gaming life isn't ruined because of it.)
