Talk:Combat Messaging (5e Spell)
From D&D Wiki
Balance[edit]
The problem with the balance is that this sort of thing is easier for bone collectors than other classes. Maybe it needs to be a trait rather than a spell. Trouble is, the bone collector traits list is full. Maybe I can make one of the other traits a spell and add it to the spell list. Arquebus (talk) 17:58, 18 April 2020 (MDT)
The spell you are thinking of is the 5th level Telepathic Bond which does not exist in the PHB or Xanthar's Guide, but does seem to be part of the game in various 5e online spell lists. Arquebus (talk) 18:54, 3 May 2020 (MDT)
