Talk:Aural Scan (5e Spell)
From D&D Wiki
I might make it an action instead of bonus action or reduce the sphere to 60 ft MoDuckyMo (talk) 18:02, 29 July 2020 (MDT)
- At least. As it is, I don't think making noise is enough to warrant getting an effect as powerful as blindsight. Even if this took an action I'd have mixed feelings about it... It feels weird for an invisible monster to be entirely thwarted by a bonus action cantrip. - Guy 22:31, 14 May 2022 (MDT)
- I like it as it is, with the exception of it being 90 feet. It should definitely be 60 feet. As for an invisible monster being thwarted by a cantrip, fair, but this feels like such a limited cantrip that I'm not sure it would be picked that often, similar to blade ward or true strike. You could make it a leveled spell, requiring concentration to use the bonus action each turn to "scan" the environment for say, an hour or something. --ZarHakkar (talk) 12:14, 16 May 2022 (MDT)
- Oh, that's a good idea. I think a 1st-level ritual spell, like detect magic would be better, yeah. Less cost than a cantrip for most classes, but it also prevents any situation of a caster casting it every round simply because they have nothing better to do with a bonus action sometimes. - Guy 09:23, 17 May 2022 (MDT)
