Hello magic casters of all shapes and sizes! Welcome to my spellbook and thank you so much for checking out the 40th episode of our cantrip series. Today we’re taking a look at thunderclap dnd spell usable by the bard, druid, sorcerer, warlock and the wizard and naurally through extension anyone else with access to their spell lists and it is found in the elemental evil players companion as are many of our favorite cantrips (if you ask me what book is thunderclap in 5e?). The mechanics are as followed. You can also check out our other dnd spells.
Mechanics
- Level: Cantrip
- Casting Time: 1 Action
- Range/Area: 5 ft
- Components: S
- Duration: Instantaneous
- School: Evocation
- Attack/Save: CON Save
- Damage/Effect: Thunder
For your damage you’re gonna be looking up a d6 so not a great but not bad either. Starting out at one at first level and getting an additional one at 5th, 11th and 17th level for a grand total of 4d6. The cast time as with most spells is one action. You can also read this dnd knockback spells.
The range is a modest quite feeble 5ft. The duration is instantaneous, the saving throw is constitution, the components are somatic, the school is evocation and the damage type unsurprisingly is the thunder. Now let’s take a look at the full description. So you can really get a feel for the flavor behind this spell as well as just to make sure we’re on the same page in regards to it. So that everyone can get to know how does thunderclap work in d&d?
Description
You create a burst of thunderous sound that can be heard up to 100 feet away. Each creature within range, other than you, must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or take 1d6 thunder damage. The spell’s damage increases by 1d6 when you reach 5th level (2d6), 11th level (3d6), and 17th level (4d6).
So great i mean just wow thematically amazing spell just absolutely terrifying in the right situation. That being said, let’s take a look at some alternative uses here so that everyone can get the answer for how do you use thunderclap?.
Alternative Uses
The best one that i can think of is taking advantage of that 100 feet of sound to really alert our party members or NPCs that something’s going down or even to serve as a signal for a particular event or pre-thought plan. Great spell, tons of flavor and just fun to use.
Conclusion
That being said, if you have any alternative uses or have any crazy stories involving thunderclap dnd 5e i’d really like to hear it down in the comments below and as would everyone else checking this article. With that in mind thank you so much guys and as always have a great day and happy casting. frostbite dnd | sword burst 5e | shocking grasp 5e | toll the dead 5e | vicious mockery 5e | thunderwave 5e | friendly fire dnd 5e | does thunderclap hurt allies? |
