Hello sorcerers! Welcome to my spellbook and thank you so much for checking out the 2nd episode of our metamagic series. Today we’re going to be going over a favorite amongst those eldritch blast snipers of you. We’re gonna be going over the best distant spell metamagic 5e. In any case let’s dive right into distant spell.
Description
When you cast a spell that has a range of 5 feet or greater, you can spend 1 sorcery point to double the range of the spell. When you cast a spell that has a range of touch, you can spend 1 sorcery point to make the range of the spell 30 feet.
Which is quite impressive especially with anything regarding healing. All of the healing touch spells greatly benefit from this. In addition to that there’s some rather cool ones that might save you from a messy predicament a good example would be combining distant spell with something like gentle repose which if timed correctly could very well prevent the resurrection of a lich. In any case let’s move on to my personal thoughts.
Thoughts
Is distant spell worth it? Overall i quite like this spell. I think it’s really neat and i think having extra range is one of those things that will literally always be useful. Unless you find yourself in like a campaign setting where you’re always fighting in tight areas for whatever reason. Like drawn out dungeon crawls for example would be a good, good place where this might not be the most advantageous. However if you combine distant spell 5e with a spell that already has decent range like eldritch blast or fire bolt and then you use something like misty step to get to a very good vantage point or fly or levitate doesn’t really matter.
You put yourself in a position on the battlefield where you’re more or less untouchable and not a lot of people are necessarily safe from you. However with that being said, using this does require a resource as so far as sorcery points are concerned. So if you have multiple combats in a single session i would be cautious to burn all of them on just distant spell.
Conclusion
