Enhanced Spell Components 💎 DM Ideas for Player Loot
54Follow along in the article I wrote: https://www.flutesloot.com/spellcaster-rewards-enhanced-components/?utm_source=youtube
How to reward spellcasters with ways to enhance their spells without relying on traditional magic items. This concept is what I’ll refer to as Enhanced Spell Components. Though I’m choosing a narrow focus, you can apply my advice to any sort of unconventional character rewards.
Enhanced Spell Components can be verbal, somatic, or material, and you choose whether they can be used perpetually or if they are limited in their uses. You'll encourage player characters to interact with monsters instead of auto-killing them, and you'll freshen up the game in fun ways.
I created a video on this topic about a year ago, but I've gotten better at making videos since then. I figured I'd redo it.
