Sympathetic Hurl

[wind canyon]

Here is a nondamage spell for yall, what do you think?

Sympathetic Hurl

3rd-level enchantment

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Classes: Bard, Sorcerer, Wizard

You unleash a wave of nausea on a creature within range. The target must make a Constitution saving throw or be overwhelmed by uncontrollable vomiting for the duration. This nauseous state significantly impairs their capabilities; they may only undertake two of the following on their turn: move at half speed, take an action, or take a bonus action, but not all three. Furthermore, affected targets cannot maintain concentration on spells. The condition ends early if the spell's concentration is broken, the affected target succeeds on a Constitution saving throw at the end of their turn, or the affected target exits the area.

This spell centers around you, moving as you move while keeping you at its heart. Any non-friendly creature that comes within 5 feet of an affected target, or starts its turn there, must make a Wisdom saving throw. Failure results in the creature becoming affected by the same debilitating nausea, having witnessed or heard its allies' suffering. This effect then spreads in a similar manner from each newly affected creature.

The spell does not affect creatures with an Intelligence of 4 or lower, and those that are blinded and deafened.

At Higher Levels. Casting this spell with a 4th-level slot or higher increases the radius within which creatures must make Wisdom saving throws by 5 feet for each slot level above 3rd.

extremely convoluted and seems a bit weak

[wind canyon]

Not really I mean.
You cause 1 person to start puking if someone is within 5 feet of them, they have to make a save or start puking and so on and so forth. Meanwhile they have a diminished action economy, any spells they are concentrating on ends.

Are you saying it's weak cause it deals no damage?

[jade fog]

No, a no damage spell isn't something I'm looking at here

1. The target can only take 2 of the following action. There are spells that are better limiting the actions of the target.
2. The condition ends early if the target exists the are. Wich area? You didn't mentioned any area so far, you just said "a creature with range" so I can target a invisible succubus for exemple.
3. Now the spell center around me? Isn't a creature within range?
4. "moving as you move while keeping you at this heart" what this is supposed to mean? I know it's to say "the area move with you" but say this explicitly isn't already enough?
5. Now there are a wisdom saving throw for a effect that was constitution.
6. "Becoming affect by he same debilitating nausea (that you haven't mentioned so far anywhere), having witnessed or heard it's allies suffering" what this is supposed to mean? If a creature see or heard a ally suffering the effect it must do the saving throw too? If yes Wich one? Constitution or wisdom?
7. "The spell does not affect creatures with an intelligence score of 4 or lower" why? Just why? What this spell all have to do with intelligence?

To be honest there are so many problems that I'm wondering if you haven't just generated using a AI

Because it's seems a lot like a thing a AI would create

And again, it's too convoluted the way it's written

Don't seems like the D&D style of writing

[river musk]

Agree on all of these, will note it doesn't let the original target make repeat saves to escape the condition, they'll have to find some other way to trigger a Con save at the end of their turn to escape.

Seems like a much worse stinking cloud honestly

[jade fog]

i think this is part of the "not in D&D writting" style problem

[jade fog]

but also yes, too weak for a 3rd level spell

[wind canyon]

It's a Wisdom saving throw because this isn't something infectious. I named it sympathetic hurl for a reason and specified hearing and seeing the hurling to make sure its understood.

I'm not sure what you don't understand and I have absolutely mentioned the nausea literally in the 1st paragraph. It clearly says that a creature within 5 ft of the 1st affected creature must make a saving throw having seen and heard the puking or start puking themselves. That as clearly stated can be spread to those within 5 ft of them and so on. As for the final question in 6 I'm not sure where your confusion is coming from because it quite literally states that it must make a WISDOM saving throw.

As for the intelligence saving throw have you ever seen an animal start puking because you were?

Somehow I don't think you actually read this and actually understand what is being said in the spell somehow.

[river musk]

For the range, it directly says "a creature within range", as in targeting one creature, and then later says "the spell centers around you", not the initial target
You also don't adress what "the area" means

I'm just confused as to what the spell actually affects

[wind canyon]

The later part is a small error in placement but I am taking out the part that allows the puking to end if you leave the 60 ft area so I'm gonna remove that part.

[river musk]

What 60ft area? The range is 60ft, but there isn

't an AOE of any size specifide

[wind canyon]

The "area" is the 60 ft around you. Initially the spell only affected creatures Initially and later on that was in the 60 ft around the caster. But I'm removing that

[river musk]

Back to "the spell centers around you", this text seems basically useless
The spell is already defined as a single-target spell with an attached AOE effect, not an aura spell (e.g., spirit guardians)
And if it does have an effect, that would conflict with the "choose a creauture" (and also mean you're affected by it)

[wind canyon]

Which is part of the reason I am removing that

[river musk]

ok
