#1 Goblin_Flectomancer Oct 20, 2014 5:01:14	I'm working on a project which involves the conversion of multiple spells my home setting has from their Pathfinder versions. For the most part I've went back to the drawing board.  I'd like to look at three of them which are very unusual in their effect and as such tricky to balance.   ------   Alacrity 3rd level aboran transmutation Casting Time: 1 bonus action Range: Self Components: V, S, M (a swift feather) Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute Your casting is sped up so that all spells with a 1 action casting time must be cast as a bonus action. Spells with other casting times are unaffected.   ------

The target rolls a concentration check with their casting ability instead of concentration against a DC of 10 + 1d4. If they fail, not only is the spell lost but also psychic damage is dealt equal to half the die roll. At 5th level use (2d4), 11th level (3d4) and 17th level (4d4)
