[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 7629912, member: 2629"] Really? My experience would be more like 150% compared to combat cantrips. And just to note it, my PC cast Prestidigitation about 3000 times last session, in theory, to use it to clean up a bar that was being messed up by a Poltergeist (I bet a lot of PCs know which stock adventure we just started recently). 5 hours, 60 minutes per hour, 10 rounds per minute, 1 casting per round during that time as he walked around and cleaned up everything - over and over. That would be more times than Guidance could reasonably be cast in any campaign.... I'm curious how many opportunities people think there are in a typical game to make a Guidance impactful. It might be an interesting exercise to have people listen to a session of Critical Role and count the opportunities that one of the two clerics in the current campaign *could* have meaningfully cast Guidance. I'll randomly pick episde 39 of Season 2 (Temple of the False Serpent) in case any folks want to listen to it and count the opportunities. If I get the chance to do so, I'll list the spellcaster, the target, the impacted check/situation and the rough time within the podcast episode. My criteria will be that there was a spellcaster available, the roll could be anticipated reasonably, there was no reason not to cast the Guidance (otherwise occupied, trying to be stealthy), and a roll was actually made (I'll include passives should it come up, but that would be hard to anticipate).
