Up to ten berries appear in your hand and are infused with magic for the duration. A creature can use its action to eat one berry. Eating a berry restores 1 hit point, and the berry provides enough nourishment to sustain a creature for one day.
The berries lose their potency if they have not been consumed within 24 hours of the casting of this spell.

yes
You gain nothing... this spell isn't designed to be upcasted
I love it! Just remember the berries only have healing properties for 24 hours so quick pick and make those pies or juice.
I homebrewed goodberry wine that made it last for longer but only heals 8 hit points per glass and you needed a long brew time
no, listen to what he is saying closely. He means they don't have to spend time looking for food so they can rest instead of searching. its tricky and is only important for a survival type game. you do not gain a rest because of the berries
Granted, WotC clarrified it otherwise, but I do not approve of the Disciple of Life cheat to goodberry dominance. I absolutely houserule that out.
This spell should not increase in potency in anyway with Clerics of the Life Domain.
This spell has an instantaneous effect, which does not restore hit points to a creature. It transmutes berries (presumably holly berries most often), infusing them with magic, making them capable of restoring hit points. Restoring hit points by eating a goodberry is an action, and is not a spell, so Life Clerics shouldn't get to scam their way to supremacy like that. I understand that the feature Disciple of Life stays "whenever you use a spell" and not "cast a spell", but using a goodberry isn't using a spell. It's using a product of a spell
The spell doesn't itself restore hit points. It is a transmutation that temporarily makes mini-healing-balls.
i let my players do that
I think most GMs would rule that that goodberry isn't "using your spell to restore hitpoints to a creature" for life domain cleric.
You're using your spell to create a temporary magic item with a specific effect, that's what the spell does.
As an extreme example, if you cast wish, and you wished for a standard healing potion, that healing potion would restore 2d4+2hp. It wouldn't restore more HP if you were a life domain cleric.
"Up to ten berries appear " - is this to imply the caster can choose up to 10, or its a random amount of berries that appear which max out at 10? Why would a caster choose to have less? And how pissed would they be if they had to roll a d10, and 1 berry appears?
almost nothing a cleric can't do
It does just stave off starvation and dehydration.
A Long Rest in your pocket is not a first level effect.
The goodberries lose their magic after 24 hours.
And now I have the theme song from Disney's The Gummi Bears running through my head....
"berry provides enough nourishment to sustain a creature for one day." soooo you could feed a dragon?
Why is this up to ten? Why wouldn't you always choose to get ten? Am I missing something? Do you need to roll or something to get these berries?
It tastes a lot better. :)
It just means you can summon a number of berries equal to or less than ten.
I'm a little confused about something. This spell is available for my Druid, but I don't have the Magic Initiate feat and I'm not multiclassing. I don't see anything in the spell description that requires multiclassing.
It’s a druid spell. You’d need those to improve it via life cleric, but all druids have the spell.
Combine with life cleric for 4hp/berry
