Spellcast Roll

A Spellcast Roll in Daggerheart RPG is an action roll for creating magical effects with domain cards. Requires a Spellcast trait from your subclass.

A Spellcast Roll is a type of action roll used to create significant magical effects, typically with a domain card. You need a subclass that grants a Spellcast trait to make one.

If the spell can damage a target, the Spellcast Roll also counts as an attack roll.

You can only make a Spellcast Roll when a spell calls for one, and the action must be within the spell's scope — you can't invent effects that aren't on your character sheet. The GM may allow creative applications of existing spells, but flavor alone doesn't grant new mechanical effects.

Spell Duration

Spells tell you when they expire — some are temporary (GM can spend Fear to end them), some last until the next rest, and others have specific durations. You can always choose to end a spell early, and you can maintain multiple spells at once unless a spell says otherwise.
