The Unique Spells Series – A 4E Skill Conversion

5th edition does a great job of providing unique and varied flavour to each class through class features and variants. However, spellcasters, despite this disparity, are forced to share an exorbitant number of spells with one another. Why would a sorcerer and a bard know even some of the same spells? Who knows. It is for this reason that I present the Unique Spells Series, which is a major conversion of many class skills from 4th edition into 5th edition spells that expand an individual class’s spell list.

Utilising the extensive number of skills available to each class in 4th edition, I’ve converted, balanced, and levelled them appropriately into a number of unique and exciting spells that further the flavour of each class. Bards increase their musical repertoire while sorcerers have access to spells that are powered by raw, innate force while wizards have powerful spells that reflect their control and study of the arcane.

The compendium of spells will be released on this site in chapters separated by class, in alphabetical order. Once the compendium is complete, the full version will be released in all its glory. Each spell has received at least some playtesting, and many can be trusted in their balance as they are weighed against the original 4E level alongside the power of each spell in 5E.

As per all my homebrew content, feel free to use in your private games and link back to my site if you share it. I ask that you don’t re-post or claim the work for yourself.
