The caster's body freezes for a moment as the spell is cast, as if under paralysis. Then, her consciousness is cast above herself, giving her a literal "out-of-body" experience. Her view flashes from an eagle's-eye view, to that of a crouching man, etc, as it constantly changes orientation. Everything the caster sees also becomes sharper and more in focus, as if pre-rendered.The caster does not consciously move her body, but instead commands it from outside. Every move the body makes, every word spoken, and every action while under the effects of the spell is grandiose and extravagant.
While under the effects of the spell:
- The caster can move while under the effect of a Cutscene, but cannot take any actions aside from the ones listed in the spell. Cutscene can be dispelled early as a bonus action.
- The caster gets a +4 bonus to AC and a +10 bonus to Wisdom (Perception) checks and passive Perception.
- The caster can make one melee or ranged attack on an enemy, moving into range if necessary. If the attack hits an enemy with total hit die less than or equal to the caster, it critically strikes automatically. If a creature is slain this way, every enemy within 10 feet of the target must make a Wisdom saving throw or become frightened for one round. Frightened creatures spend their next round running away from the caster. If the attack hits an enemy with total hit dice greater than the caster, it does not critically strike but instead stuns them. The stun lasts for three rounds, or if the struck enemy passes a Constitution saving throw, which it can attempt at the start of each of its turns. Classes that have the Extra Attack class feature may use the extra attack, and both critically strike. This effect may be used three times per casting of Cutscene, but cannot be used against the same creature more than once. Using the Extra Attack class feature only uses one charge.
- The caster may make an Intelligence check with a +10 bonus to solve a puzzle, riddle, or similar objective she has come across within the past 24 hours. This effect may only be used once per casting of Cutscene.
- The caster may make a rousing speech to her allies within 30 feet. If she spends one minute making a speech to her allies, they all receive advantage on attack rolls for one minute or until hit. This effect may only be used once per casting of Cutscene.
Cutscene may not be cast more than once per long rest. Cutscene is modified based on which class casts it in the following ways:
- Wizards, Sorcerers, and Warlocks can instead use a cantrip, 1st level, or 2nd level spell in place of a melee or ranged attack.
- Paladins and Clerics can instead roar as a bonus action to gain the same effect as giving a speech. Doing so uses the one use of the speech effect.
- Druids may use Wild Shape during Cutscene, and doing so causes a bestial roar to emit from the Druid. Any enemies within 30 feet of the Druid must make a Wisdom saving throw or become frightened for one round.
- Rangers, when attacking their favored enemy during Cutscene, instead deal triple damage on a critical strike.
- Bards, once per casting of Cutscene, can spend her turn inspiring her allies. Every ally within 60 feet of the Bard gains one Bardic Inspiration die, including the Bard, but only uses one charge of Bardic Inspiration.
