📋 About This Mod

Alters Wild Magic Sorcerer's Tides of Chaos following the changes in DnD 5R's PHB2024: Tides of Chaos guarantees a Wild Magic surge after activation and has a Once-Per-Long-Rest cooldown which can be reset by triggering a Wild Magic surge.

Should be compatible with any mods that add effects to the Wild Magic Surge table, as this doesn't modify that.

This mod works great alongside my other mod Ring of Feywild Sparks Rework, which was made to rework that Ring since its effect is no longer viable if you use this. Make sure you load this mod AFTER the Ring of Feywild Sparks mod.

This mod was inspired by the great mod True Tides of Chaos. Why use this mod instead of that one? Because:

  • []This mod also updates the cooldown of Tides of Chaos to be per Long-Rest as it should be following the new rules, which the old mod didn't do.

    []This modifies all the text descriptions and error descriptions referencing this feature to reflect this new change, which the old mod didn't do completely.

    []This mod was made with the official toolkit, helping compatibility both in general and with future versions of the game.

    []I'm an active modder so I can fix bugs or reports.
