[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 7476344, member: 2525"] Let's talk about Druidcraft, and the many creative uses for that spell. As a reminder, it's a Druid cantrip with a 1 action casting time, a range of 30 feet, and Verbal and Somatic components. The verbal component is "Whispering to the spirits of nature". With it, you can do any of the four following things: 1) Create a tiny, harmless sensory effect that predicts what the weather will be at your location for the next 24 hours. The effect might manifest as a golden orb for clear skies, a cloud for rain, falling snowflakes for snow, and so on. This effect persists for 1 round. 2) You instantly make a flower blossom, a seed pod open, or a leaf bud bloom. 3) You create an Instantaneous, harmless sensory effect, such as falling leaves, a puff of wind, the sound of a small animal, or the faint odor of skunk. The effect must fit in a 5-foot cube. 4) You instantly light or snuff out a Candle, a torch, or a small campfire. So what are some fun and/or interesting uses for Druidcraft? Here are some thoughts: If the party can see in the dark, enter a room and snuff the torch. If the party has someone using minor illusion or silent image of something that could be enhanced by smell, use it to enhance their illusion. Like for example an illusion of a wounded human works better with the smell of fresh blood. The sound of a small animal is a useful distraction to guards.
