Thank you to everyone for your inspiration and suggestions."Magic-whatever MacGuffin ring" that casts only Tongues.For regular spells under a minute/action/reaction, Chris has Minor Illusion, that causes one minute of a verbal sound.Cast Minor Illusion -> Cast all of the spells (from Burning Hands to Thunderwave.) Actions per turn of combat take about 6 seconds, with the average combat taking a minute or so, [YMMV] therefore I don't see any problems with this method. I don't need to give him any freebie spells, as he can already cast them this way.For lengthier spells, (ex. Clairvoyance 10m, Glyph of Warding 1h, ect.)-Cast Tongues (with the ring/whatever) which lasts 1 hour.-Use Tongues to cast Find Familiar (1 hour) Slightly-nerfed Pseudodragon Familiar appears. Pseudodragon communicates telepathically with caster. -Cast Tongues on Pseudodragon (another hour) Caster now can telepathically tell Pseudodragon the verbal componant, while manipulating the somatic and material componants himself. -Total time to get combat-ready: 3 hours <s>That's less time than my ex-wife! jk jk</s>I'm implementing a (probably 5%) chance to dismiss itself after each turn, and another percentile to misconstrue the given message (for humour.)IS THIS A GOOD IDEA? I don't see any holes so far. And what should the MacGuffin have in way of charges? I'm thinking 1+1d4/24 hours. That way he gets base 2 uses, and can cast one hour of verbal spells a minimum of once per day. Also, I want to make the MacGuffin 'cursed' so he can't remove it, and because he can't remove it and it's attached to him, the ring's magic interferes and he can't cast Tongues on himself. Because the DM rules.Though I don't think Chris would anyhow, as that's the whole point of me making this post in the first place.Feel free to poke holes.</blockquote>
