Cast Command¶

Roll to cast spells.

Usage¶

!cast [<character_name>] <spell_name> [target] [adv] [dis] [verb] [+<modifier>] ["<label>"]

Description¶

The cast command allows you to: - Cast spells from your character's spell list - Specify which character to use (if you have multiple characters) - Target specific creatures with spells - Apply advantage or disadvantage to spell attacks - View detailed spell information - Add custom labels to describe the casting - Spell names are fuzzy matched ("missile" matches "Magic Missile")

Options¶

[<character_name>] - Name of the character to use (optional, falls back to selected character)
<spell_name> - Name of the spell to cast (fuzzy matching supported)
[target] - Target for the spell (optional, used for spell attacks and targeted effects)
adv - Roll with advantage
dis - Roll with disadvantage
verb - Show detailed modifier breakdown
+<modifier> - Add a custom modifier to the spell casting roll (e.g., +1d6, +2)
"<label>" - Add a custom label to describe the casting (e.g., "desperate cast", "focused casting")

Examples¶

Cast a spell:

!cast "magic missile"

Cast with specific character:

!cast "Wizard Bob" fireball
!cast "Cleric Alice" heal
!cast Bob "magic missile"

Cast with modifiers:

!cast frost adv
!cast charm verb
!cast fireball +1d6
!cast ray +2 adv

Cast with custom labels:

!cast fireball "desperate attack"
!cast heal "emergency healing"
!cast shield +1 "divine protection"

Character Resolution¶

When you specify a character name as the first argument: - Exact or partial match: If the name matches one of your characters, that character will be used - No match: If the name doesn't match any of your characters, the command falls back to your selected character and treats the name as a spell name - Multiple characters: This is especially useful when you have multiple characters in the same initiative and want to specify which one to use

Examples: - !cast "Wizard Bob" fireball - Uses Wizard Bob to cast fireball - !cast Bob "magic missile" - Uses character with name starting with "Bob" to cast magic missile - !cast fireball target adv - If no character named "fireball", uses selected character to cast fireball with advantage against target

Combat Awareness¶

When your character is in an active initiative order, this command automatically uses any modified stats applied through the !stats command or other effects.

For example: - If your casting stat (INT for wizards, WIS for clerics, CHA for sorcerers) has been enhanced from 16 to 18 while in initiative, spell casting rolls will use the enhanced value - Spell attack bonuses and save DCs will reflect the modified stat values - Any other stat modifications that affect spell casting will be automatically applied

Outside initiative: Uses your character's base stats as normal. In initiative: Automatically uses any temporarily modified stats.

See the Stats Command documentation for information on modifying stats during combat.
