Quote:
You grant the target insight on things to come, guiding them toward a fate they find most fitting and encouraging them to continue this journey. The creature rolls a d20 at the start of each of its turns. The creature can use the result of the roll instead of rolling for any check before the start of their next turn. If the creature does substitute the roll in this way, they gain a +1 status bonus to whatever check they substitute on the following turn. Repeated substitutions increase the status bonus by 1, up to a total of +2. If the creature begins their turn without having substituted a roll in the previous round, the spell ends.

Bolded for emphasis.

I have trouble parsing if you can only replace 1 roll/turn or multiple (using the same prerolled result).

Any input?

Either way it is very powerful, but being able to turn all your rolls into 18s or something kinda seems tgtbt to me.


It says "check" rather than "checks" in both in the bolded sentence and the one afterwards, I think it's safe to say it refers to a single one. Would be super weird to be able to immediately pump up to the highest status bonus also by just replacing a bunch of checks on the first turn.


I would agree that it applies only to a single check.
