Carreau's Weapon Cantrips

A New Era of Diversity

Blade cantrips are among the favorite spells of
DnD players, and that's not a surprise ! Both spells
are very flavorful and efficient! The only shadow on
that bright picture : they strongly limit the
players'weapon choice as they only work with non-
reach-non-thrown melee weapons. So... It is now Art Credit : Wizards of the Coast
time to introduce you : the Carreau's new weapon
cantrips ! Created specially to allow players to
combine some magic with their ranged, thrown
and reach weapons (and even with their shield!).
