Call lightning 5e questions11/28/2023 ![]() That's been errata'd too! Now the lightning bolts must strike "under the cloud", not "within range". The more I think about it, the more I suspect it is, in fact, just giving you options for how high it is: the center is right over your head. On way to interpret "centered on a point you can see within range directly above you" is as allowing it to be any distance from touching the top of your head to 120 feet in the air, but the point must be directly over your head.Īnother way that confuses because it means "directly" is not literal and thus needs some measure of interpretation is that you can put it anywhere within 120 feet as long as it somehow counts as "directly" overhead even if its not a vertical line upwards. I am fine with that reading because it will almost never come up and I do not care about edge cases like that.I think you're either talking past my point/question, or saying the same thing, and I am not sure which. This reading does mean that you could theoretically cast it in one place, travel for 9 minutes, then start calling down lightning far from the storm cloud. This might mean it's more than 120' from the cloud, but it's unlikely to be the case in 99.9999999% of examples. ![]() Just a straight line up to 120' feet from the caster. The range of the spell is 120', and I read it as the range from the caster, not the cloud. The storm cloud, which you would dispel with dispel magic, appears as a 10' tall 60' radius cylinder centred above you.
