Spells of Antiquity Complete Edition

 

As an avid Dungeons and Dragons player for most of my life, I've journeyed through the various editions of this beloved game. While 5th edition holds a special place in my heart, my fondest memories often harken back to the intricate world of 3.5. It's in the spirit of this nostalgia and a desire to bridge the gap between the two editions that I embarked on a special project.

I'm thrilled to share with you the culmination of my efforts: a comprehensive collection of over 600 spells, painstakingly adapted from the 3.5 edition Spell Compendium to seamlessly integrate with 5th edition D&D. This project represents a labor of love, fueled by my deep appreciation for the rich history of the game and a desire to offer a treasure trove of new possibilities to the 5th edition gaming community.

Here, you'll find meticulously updated mechanics that not only retain the essence of the original spells but also align with the rules and dynamics of 5th edition. Whether you're a veteran of 3.5 looking to revisit cherished spells or a 5th edition enthusiast seeking fresh, diverse options for your campaigns, this collection is designed to enhance your D&D experience.

I invite you to explore this compendium and hope that it ignites your imagination, sparks new adventures, and adds a touch of the classic to your 5th edition games. So, without further ado, and after a year of revisions, I present the final compiled volume of my Spells of Antiquity conversion: Enjoy!

DnD 3.5 to 5e Spell Conversions: Armor of Darkness

 

Armor of Darkness

4th-level abjuration

---

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S
• Duration: 8 hours
• Classes: Cleric, Warlock

You touch a willing creature who isn’t wearing armor, enveloping them in a protective shroud of flickering shadows until the spell ends. For the duration, that creature has darkvision out to a range of 60 feet. The creature’s base AC becomes 13 + its Dexterity modifier. The spell ends if the creature dons armor or if you dismiss the spell as an action. Additionally, the space the creature occupies is considered lightly obscured to creatures other than the target.

Undead creatures affected by Armor of Darkness have advantage on saving throws against Turn Undead.
