![]() If you have both Step and Hook, you can step yourself to the top of that 30 foot wall, and hook your friends up there (or throw a rope, I leave conceiving of an example where ropes don't help as an exercise for the reader). Misty hook now allows you to communicate those benefits to your friends as well. Misty step is a very good spell for reaching places that are hard to get to (within 30 feet). It is outside of combat where this really shines. If out of combat utility didn't matter, I would call this 2nd level. You'll need some help keeping your target around long enough to swing at them. That said, there are circumstances where bringing the enemy to you is tactically superior to teleporting yourself to them, and for that benefit, I think a casting time of 1 action (in distinction with misty step's 1 bonus action) is enough compensation for the tactical superiority afforded by this spell - you can bring the enemy to you, but you have used your action. In many conceivable circumstances this spell is going to be mostly geometrically equivalent to misty step, except it has a chance to fail. I wouldn't say that is has extra utility in comparison to misty step, rather it has different utility, but only in some circumstances. If the creature is willing, this spell uses a bonus action otherwise, the spell uses an action, and the creature can make a Wisdom save to avoid being teleported.ģrd level is appropriate, specifically because of its out of combat utility. They must arrive on a surface capable of supporting them if there is no such space, the spell fails. ![]() You teleport them to an unoccupied space of their choice within 5 feet of you. I think moving them next to your character is in line with those spells.įor the friendly version of the spell, I think it actually should be a bonus-action spell as well, so that you don't blow your whole turn on pulling your ally out of a sticky situation.Ĭhoose one creature you can see within 30 feet of you. If you can get past an opponent's saving throw, for a second-level spell slot you could hit them with blindness or levitate or hold person. (Also, this is a spell that promotes teamwork, and I like it when characters use spells like that at my table!) You can still use it to pull your ally out of an awkward spot, which is nice - but the original misty step was an escape spell, and this misty hook variant isn't an escape spell any more, and I think that's a fair trade. ![]() The 3.5e conjuration school uses text like this.) (We can make it harder to use offensively by including some text about "arriving on a surface capable of supporting it". If you use it on an enemy, you've also placed yourself with melee range of them, and you'll provoke an attack of opportunity if you move away. It's quite difficult to use this to drop someone off a cliff, or into lava, because they get to choose which space they appear in. You've carefully worded this spell so that it's really hard to use it offensively. ![]()
