Doublespeak

2nd-level illusion (Bard)


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: Self (30-foot radius)
  • Components: V, S, M (a tongue)
  • Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour

You choose a number of willing creatures within range. For the duration, the targets can all understand each other's speech, but no other creature can understand it. Unless a creature chooses to purposefully pay attention to what the characters are saying, it sounds like a mundane and boring conversation, though the actual words are difficult to follow. Anyone trying to understand what the ensorcelled creatures are saying must make a Wisdom saving throw. A creature that succeeds on the save can understand the targets' speech for 1 minute. At the end of that minute, if the creature wishes to continue understanding the targets' speech, it must repeat the Wisdom saving throw.
