D&D (2024) People called me a troll but I called it that they were gonna Buff the Wizard

Wizards also get to have 1st and 2nd level spells at-will earlier now, so by level 15 you can add 5 modifications to a spell using an 8th level slot and 2k gp at most, then cast them like a cantrip.

There is no denying the wizard loooove.

you missed I can drop Tabby's Force ball in the middle of melee and not hit our melee combatants.

You missed that you can change how the spell smells!

Very important

But also, it's +600'. Not 6000'.

Tabby's force ball *

fireball that is force and only effects enemies has no components and has 6,000 extra ft of range will take a few weeks but will be so the best 3rd level spell ever.

*TM pending

I guess they didn't name the company Monks of the Coast

It's been a few days since they released the playtest so you probably already know this, but this can't be done. Modify spell alters an arcane spell. When you follow it up with create spell, the spell becomes a wizard spell, not an arcane spell. At most you can make a single change to a spell.

depending on the level of the original spell it can be more, but yes, for fireball it is one change

You're absolutely right, you would be able to make an upgraded version with more modifications. I missed that it had an "at higher levels" function. Still the aforementioned forceball would need to wait until you're 17th level so not something I'd worry about.

it's okay I actually knew part of it could not be done when I posted it... I knew force wasn't on the list but it was a joke. I was hopeing by being silly it would disarm part of the mean spiritedness I feel on here during playtest... I don't think it worked but I really did mean this as a joke

I think memorize spell is more impactful and flavorful than modify spell.

Like, if you need water walk. Just give the wizard 11 minutes to read though his book.

So much added utility.

Turns out it can be done, once you hit 17th level and alter the base spell fireball again. I ended up missing the ability to add more modifications at higher levels, so if you want to spend a 9th level slot (easily done during downtime) you can make that force ball of yours.
