![]() Let’s say you run into a door that appears magically locked or a savvy companion spots a magical trap up ahead. This is fairly straightforward, so long as no players try to stretch the meaning of the term “object” to include an entire building, ship, etc. Just for clarity, let’s look at an example scenario for each of the eligible Dispel Magic targets: For example, upcasting Dispel Magic using a 5th-level spell slot will automatically dispel all spells of 5th level or lower upcasting using a 6th-level slot automatically ends 6th-level spells or lower, etc. You can also upcast Dispel Magic - for each slot level above the 3rd, you can automatically dispel a spell of equal level. It will automatically dispel all 3rd level or lower spells affecting an object or creature. To do so, roll a d20 and add your spellcasting ability modifier if it meets or exceeds the DC, Dispel Magic successfully dispels the spell (PHB 194).ĭispel Magic can also dispel multiple spells affecting an object or creature, however, a check will need to be made for each individual spell of 4th level or higher. For spells of 4th level or higher, you must make an ability check with a DC equal to 10 + the spell’s level. The following subclasses get Dispel Magic for free:ĭispel Magic instantly ends any spell on a target creature, object, or magical effect of 3rd level or lower. The following classes have Dispel Magic on their spell list: Which is a darn good thing, because having Dispel Magic ready on at least one party member is all but essential for any campaign.Įssentiality aside, Dispel Magic is very often misunderstood by players and DMs alike - let’s remedy that. What Are the Rules for Dispel Magic in 5e?ĭispel Magic: the spell that every spellcaster in Dungeons and Dragons (barring Rangers - sorry, Rangers) has access to.If a person is a container, isn't every plant, crack in the sidewalk, and space of air between two solid objects a container? Just some stuff to think about. And assuming that a person did count as a container for which you could store water in, it would make the term "container" so vague that it ceases to have useful meaning. The same logic applies to destroying water in a person's blood vessels. Yes, lungs can contain air, but I don't imagine most people would keep another person's lungs around to hold their water like a fleshy water bottle. A container can be defined as a receptacle meant for the storage of goods, which is obviously what the spell's creators were intending you'd target with it. You'd be hard pressed to find a DM who would ever allow you to use that justification to create water in someone's lungs, especially since the spell was obviously not meant to do that.įor Create or Destroy Water, you can target a container to fill with water. If you maintain your concentration on this spell for the entire possible duration, the creature is turned to stone until the effect is removed. If the creature is physically broken while petrified, it suffers from similar deformities if it reverts to its original state. The successes and failures don't need to be consecutive keep track of both until the target collects three of a kind. If it fails its saves three times, it is turned to stone and subjected to the petrified condition for the duration. If it successfully saves against this spell three times, the spell ends. ![]() On a successful save, the creature isn't affected.Ī creature restrained by this spell must make another Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns. On a failed save, it is restrained as its flesh begins to harden. If the target's body is made of flesh, the creature must make a Constitution saving throw. You attempt to turn one creature that you can see within range into stone. ![]() Monstrous Compendium Vol 3: Minecraft Creatures
