Cheating means breaking a rule. Could you point me to the rule that says all chickens have the same status regarding creaturehood? I must have missed it.

I’d let limited wish work off any spell list, like wish does. And I’d let it eliminate long casting times like wish, and maybe components up to 100 gp. Minor wish I think would be ok to duplicate 2nd level spells that are standard action to cast and no expensive components. Your spell list only...

When you post something for critiques, you're bound to get criticism. Some you'll find useful and and some you won't. But it's never helpful to argue back and say your critics are wrong. You won't generate any heat if you just say "I can see why you might think that, but I expect that particular...

Because you need to know what spells to cast in which levels of the dungeon, of course. https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0012.html

100% true. Doesn't mean I have to like it :)

That's what Mass Healing Wood is for.

Well @Inanity it seems like you know what you want, seems like the thing to do is playtest it and let us know how it goes.

IMO it would be an improvement to just drop the reaction and have it use the casting time of whatever spell you are duplicating. Obviously that doesn't help the balance issue, but I don't think it hurts it much either, and at least then the base mechanics aren't so problematic.

The issue isn't so much that you didn't include a trigger in the write up, it is that 5e uses reactions for things that are legitimately triggered by some circumstance. "When you drink a potion", something relevant to the potion occurs. You are abusing the mechanic because casting anyspell isn't...

Yeah, but this doesn't seem really cool to me, it seems confused and weird. Cool is, you're a spear-wielding fighter that's been buffed with fly, and you want to make a dive bomb charge attack for extra damage. I'm down with that... maybe make an acrobatics check, do well and get an extra d8...

Inanity what is your wizard doing with their reaction so often? I mean, shield is good and all but you're really not supposed be be getting attacked every turn.

I would simply rule that a chicken doesn't qualify as a creature here. Here's a better example of the same idea: Necromancer wizard is in a fight that's not going well. The setting is a gothic castle with spider webs etc. The wizard casts circle of death on the bad guys, knowing they have too...

Seems reasonable, similar concept as the ring of spell storing but less potent. Don’t know if you need to call it flawed, unless you also plan to have non-flawed versions around.

Featherfall is triggered by falling, and it doesn't sound like you are falling here. So I don't think it would trigger the reaction. But I don't think it is needed. You can do what you describe without any risk of hitting the ground, assuming that you have a fly speed. It is basically just a...

I did find the 3e version and it was a whole lot weaker. 15 minutes to cast and then it just let you prepare a single spell from off your spell list. So not an on-the-fly "cast whatever I want" but "at the cost of a higher level slot, I have an expanded spell list today."

It comes down to some vagueness in the rules about what constitutes a creature. Could you cast hex on an ant? On an amoeba? On a flower? On an imaginary friend? At some point the DM needs to put a cutoff on what constitutes a creature and what doesn't. That cutoff might reasonably depend on the...

He's saying that if everyone makes the same choice, then the act of choosing is meaningless, not that the option chosen is meaningless.

Then it should be a class feature, not a spell.
