Talk:Blink, Variant (5e Spell)

busted

broken cantrip. 1d8 isnt a lot of damage especially if your using magic initiate or are a 1/2 caster. Paladins and fighters and Hexblades oh my. -CandideFanfiction

While I see your point, I would remind you that this cantrip deals 1d8 necrotic self-damage per extra use. If you use it a fourth time, it's 1d8, but the fifth time is 2d8, the sixth time is 3d8, et cetera et cetera. --Nuke The Earth (talk) 14:18, 18 March 2021 (MDT)

The 3x teleports is still very, very very good. also, because its on so many spell lists its fairly easy to get through shit like feats: Also, spell scrolls would be hella cheap. Teleport is teleport. why spring for mistystep if every martial can buy 3 of these. -CF

You're free to apply a needsbalance template to the spell, or to attempt to rebalance it yourself. --Nuke The Earth (talk) 14:25, 18 March 2021 (MDT)

I say lower it to two uses. If you start spamming it in a combat as reactions, you’ll actually be taking some damage. Probably won’t use more than 4 reactions in a single combat, but with two freebies you’ll actually take some damage/have scaling for later. --SwankyPants (talk) 15:52, 18 March 2021 (MDT)
