Daily Punch 9-8-16 Summon Ooze Spell for DnD 5e

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

ED CONTINUES TO DEMAND MORE OOZES!  Also, how about a slightly different way to summon.  I think conjurers (conjuration based wizards) need to keep up with Druids.  Let’s make that happen!

 

Summon Ooze

2th-level conjuration

Casting Time: 1 minute

Range: 30 feet

Components: V, S, M (a 1-ounce glass jar of acid)

Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour

You call forth an ooze servant. An ooze of challenge rating 1/2 or lower to appears in an unoccupied space within 10 feet of a point in range.

The ooze disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends.

The ooze is friendly to you and your companions for the duration. Roll initiative for the ooze, which has its own turns. It obeys any verbal commands that you issue to it (no action required by you). If you don’t issue any commands to the ooze, it defends itself from hostile creatures but otherwise takes no actions.

If your concentration is broken, the ooze doesn’t disappear. Instead, you lose control of the ooze, it becomes hostile toward you and your companions, and it might attack. An uncontrolled ooze can’t be dismissed by you, and it disappears 1 hour after you summoned it.

The GM has the ooze’s statistics.

At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3th level or higher, increase the challenge rating of the summoned ooze to 1 if you use a 3rd level spell slot and by 1 thereafter for each slot level above 3th.
