Forgotten Cantrips (Patreon)
Content
Just like for feats, there are a lot of cantrip options in Dnd 5e, and some are clearly stronger than others, resulting on a few ones that are never chosen by players and end up forgotten. On this homebrew, my goal was to make those poor cantrips worthy again!
Edit :
- Added the Magic stones, thorn whip and shillilagh cantrips to the list!
- True strike no longer adds scaling damage, but transforms the hit into a critical strike instead.

- Added the Friends cantrip!
- Bladeward now only lasts 1 turn instead of 1 round.
- Control flames doesn't affect magical flames anymore, and the range to turn on/off candles around you decreased from 60ft to 20ft.
- Gust can now only push horizontaly.
- Added a scaling effect on gust : you can push more and more weight when you level up, and can eventually push large creatures with it.
- Gust no longer require a vocal component (like any other elemental cantrip).
- Magic stones : totally reworked : you can now create explosive pebbles as an action (for a scaling effect).
- Poison spray : no longer prevents reactions. Gives a 1d4 bonus to hit to the next attack instead (so it is less similar to shoking grasp).
- Resistance : lests for 1 minute and has a range of touch (instead of 1round with a range of 30ft). You now have to use your reaction (similar to how i made bladeward).
- Shillelagh : reworded to make it clearer.
- True Strike : completely reworked. No longer grants an auto crit, but instead makes you ignore disadvantages and covers.
- True strike can now be used with any attack, whatever the range (instead of 30ft).

- Added a list of all revised spells on the first page so it is easier for you to find what spells changed when making a character! ;)
- Resistance can now only be applied on one ally at a time.
- The target of friends does a saving throw at the end of every minute (there was a "s" at the end of "minute" that shouldn't have been there)
