Spells from the Hive A large influx of BEES ought to spice up this game! 1 Bees Bee Colony Artist and Rightsholder: sumx
Spells from the Hive V 2.2 These spells exist solely because I wanted to create spells which involve the use of large quantities of bees. I later realized that I hated how some of them came out- some were overpowered and others ridiculously underpowered. This is the result- most spells from the first list, reworded and somewhat reworked, along with new ones. The first iteration can probably be found, but that account was all but nuked. Additionally, contrary to official layouts, these spells are presented by level, instead of alphabetically. -dspv Spells in this list Level Spell School Conc.

Creatures within the Hive gain the following benefits: They gain the benefits of three-quarters cover against any creature outside of the Hive. They can magically see and use abilities through the walls of the Hive as though it were unobstructed. They gain a fly (hover) speed of 30 feet. When you cast this spell, as an action on future rounds, and as a bonus action, you may grant up to 5 creatures within the Hive of your choice one of the following active bonuses of their choice which they are not currently affected by until the start of your next turn: Each time they hit with a weapon attack roll, they may deal an extra 1d6 poison damage to the target. Once per turn, they may deal an extra 1d8 poison damage + 1d6 piercing damage to one creature they hit with a weapon attack roll. Any spell, item, or ability which the creature uses or is affected by which heals at least one hit point increases the amount of health restored by your spellcasting ability modifier. They can project a long arm made of propolis, allowing them to use the grapple action on a creature up to 30 feet away from. If they grapple a creature which is at least 10 feet away from them, that creature is pulled to within 5 feet of them. This is forced movement. The area within a 10-foot radius of them is considered difficult terrain for any creature which they choose, as a web of honey spreads out from them. A swarm of bees protects them. Whenever another creature makes an attack roll against them, the attacker takes 2d4 piercing damage. A creature may be affected by a maximum of 3 of these bonuses at a time. At Higher Levels.
