A seemingly situational spell, Illusory Script might just be extremely powerful with a little bit of play with the rules. Tim shares his running-from-the-mob character build and Derek gives us the Contract Devil as his homebrew monster this week. It's a great choice if you want to lock your players into terrible fiendish deals.

For the overly cautious player who actually wants to know what an item does before attuning to it. Tim shares his magic item crafter character build. And Derek shares the Blade Thief for the DM who loves taking away their players' magic items.

Tracking your enemies has never been easier! And when you catch up give 'em a little extra damage just for the fun of it. Ranger's love this spell, including Tim's character, a goliath beekeeper. Also, Derek shares his homebrew monster the Wild Huntsman, inspired by the legend of the Wildhunt.

A harmless spell literally full of laughter. Tim shares his darkest character yet and Derek's Cthulu-inspired homebrew monster is the Star Spawn Mockery.

A bonus action curse, no saving throw required, what's not to like? Tim's character build is a bard using Hex to help his deception rolls. And Derek's homebrew monster is the Hex Hag, an extremely dangerous hag with the potential to take out a party member each round.

Sick of those cowards in your party? Use heroism to imbue them with bravery and give them incentive to get hit. Tim almost creates Bilbo Baggins with his heroism specialist. And Derek's homebrew monster is the Gloryhound, a celestial that would rather see someone die fighting than live to fight another day. The perfect monster to lead your players into a TPK.

We've never met a reaction spell we don't like and Hellish Rebuke doesn't fail to deliver. Who doesn't love it when an enemy takes more damage on their turn than they deal? Tim shares a character build that maximizes fire damage. And Derek heats things up with his homebrew monster, the Censure Devil, which does more damage on opponent's turns than its own.

Healing Word is a give and take kind of spell. You give some hit points with your bonus actions and take some hit points with your action. Tim's character this week harnesses the wonders of Divine Soul sorcery and healing magic. Meanwhile, Derek brings us the Spirit of Valor, his homebrew monster this week.

Hail of Thorns is why DMs don't group their NPCs. But if you can find a way to group everyone together definitely take advantage.

Cleric's tend to choose between hitting things or helping their friends, but not with Guiding Bolt! Tim introduces Gabby whose Guiding Bolts shed more than just dim light on their targets. Derek shares his homebrew monster, the 'Hammer of Judgement', a helpful celestial and Gabby's best friend.
