Posted Feb 10, 2024This feels like it should need concentration. Single cha save vs no healing for 1 minute on any target within 60 feet. Or am I reading this wrong?

Posted Feb 24, 2024It's actually an old DND spell.

The author was kind enough to transcribe it to 5e.

Posted Feb 24, 2024I am aware. I have gone through that entire list and remade the ones i feel they missed the mark on, tweaking them to feel more balanced imo, or to be closer to original version of the spell. Some needed no adjustment, some needed a lot of adjustment. I compared all 74 spells back with the originals to see exactly how much they changed etc etc. This spell imo, only needed a slight adjustment. The original has it being a 15-foot radius sphere on any point within 60 feet, not just any creature within 60 feet. So i added that.
