[QUOTE="rgoodbb, post: 8742907, member: 6801229"] Seen it in play twice and have thought about taking it myself. The 3rd level Spirit Bard who had it, used all of their spell slots for it and had no others left before realising this. It was that powerful and easy to use that other spells weren't even considered. It was only after she was out of slots that we all realised. 3rd level Lore Bard used it to land a Blindness that had been saved. Changed the encounter from difficult to pushover. They used it a couple more times and didn't even think about using their reaction for Cutting Words. I have build a PC with it, but then took it away before actual play because I felt dirty. I think if you are choosing it over all of your other options consistently, you either just love that spell or it may be more powerful than any other option you have. After discussion, we have decided to either not have the spell or have it be cast at a higher level if someone really wants it. If accessible, it's feels like an auto-pick and an auto-use. From my point of view, I personally think its the most powerful spell at the low levels. I cannot attest to higher level play. So I would class it as overpowered. [/QUOTE]
