5R Conjure Animals (dnd 5e 2024 PHB)

Summon Initiative Fixer - HARD requirement to make the summon act on the same turn with the summoner - otherwise the way it does damage will be broken.

Object Character Support - recommended to make the summon not interact with abilities, spells, effects and enemy AI - the summoned spirits are supposed to be intangible and invulnerable, and we don't want to have them roll saving throws, distract enemies, etc.

Conjure Animals

Level 3 Conjuration (Druid, Ranger)

Casting Time: Action

Range: 60 feet

Components: V, S

Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

You conjure nature spirits that appear as a Large pack of spectral, intangible animals in an unoccupied space you can see within range. The pack lasts for the duration, and you choose the spirits’ animal form, such as wolves, serpents, or birds.

You have Advantage on Strength saving throws while you’re within 5 feet of the pack, and when you move on your turn, you can also move the pack up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see.

Whenever the pack moves within 10 feet of a creature you can see and whenever a creature you can see enters a space within 10 feet of the pack or ends its turn there, you can force that creature to make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 3d10 Slashing damage. A creature makes this save only once per turn.

Using a Higher-Level Spell Slot. The damage increases by 1d10 for each spell slot level above 3.

Implemented as RAW as possible, with a few adjustments to BG3:

- Advantage on Strength saving throws has the same 10ft radius as damage aura. So that the visuals match both effects, more clear and simple.

- Conjured Animals can move as a proper creature - rather than directed as a druid. Simply because directing them won't be great gameplay-wise.

- The Saving Throw is made at the start of each creature's turn inside the radius (rather than at the end of their turn), this is consistent with Spirit Guardians implementation of BG3.

You can choose from a variety of animals, but there's no difference between them other than visuals.
