Level 5 Wizard Spells

Big Purple Hand (Conjuration)

This is a Daily Close-Quarters spell which summons a big purple hand which can carry out various attacks. It has its own set of actions, which it uses at your command.

Type	Frequency	Target	Attack	Hit	Miss	Defenses	HP
Close-Quarters spell	Daily	One enemy within melee range of the hand	+10 vs PD	18 force damage	nothing	19	72

Instead of a damaging attack, you can substitute:

• Forceful Hand - on a hit, the target takes 1/2 normal damage but pops free and is moved to nearby range from its previous location
• Grasping Hand- on a hit, the target takes 1/2 normal damage and the target is grabbed (until disengaged; -5 to disengage; can’t make opportunity attacks; the hand gets a +4 bonus to attacks against the target).
• Interposing Hand - On a hit, the target takes 1/2 normal damage but has disadvantage to attack until the end of the caster's next turn.

Higher Level Versions	Attack	Damage	Defenses	HP
7th level spell	+12 vs PD	28 force damage	21	108
9th level spell	+14 vs PD	50 force damage	23	180
