Even outside that, you can make floating notes appear in front of allies if in a situation where you can’t communicate audibly. Just cast the audio version right before turning into an animal. This is a great use for druid, since you can’t speak while in wildshape form. I once created a fake masterwork crossbow hanging on a wall, knowing a certain assassin character would waste a round of combat to go pilfer it. Visually, the classic “pile of coins” always works to draw the eye of any greedy goblin or bandit. Create the sounds of a fight breaking out in town square to lure away some guards, or a knight’s commander ordering him to come hither. While you can distract people with visual illusions, I’ve always preferred the audible version. Here are just a few of the ways I’ve used this spell in my career: 1. To say nothing of the audio version, which can replicate any sound on the planet. The main limiting factor is that it can’t move, but that still opens tons of doors for distractions, bluffs, or communication tools. The sheer flexibility of this spell comes from your ability to make anything that fits the parameters. None of these races synergize well with Druid, however, which is why I usually rely on the feat. Forest gnomes get it for free, and High Elves or Tieflings can earn it by choosing variant subraces. That said, there are a few other ways to get minor illusion as well. But this just encourages me to use it smartly, and create sensible illusions nobody will second-guess. As a Druid, my Int spell-save is garbage and I just assume any enemy who investigates my illusion will pass. This is my personal preference, but comes with the downside that your illusions call for Intelligence saves. The first, which I’ve already mentioned, is the Magic Initiate feat. If you’re not a class who gets it normally, there are a few ways to obtain it. It also doesn’t have a verbal component, aiding its use for surreptitious means. Notably, this spell does not require concentration despite lasting for a minute.
Anyone who grows suspicious can choose to make an Investigation (Int) check to determine whether it’s an illusion. You can alternately create sound instead, which can shift or change in pretty much any way for the duration. These images cannot move or make noise, and anything that touches it will pass right through. Minor illusion’s main job is to create static, unmoving images that can fit within a 5-foot square. (Make the last one shape water and you’ve added a boatload of utility to any class in the game.) Today I wanted to discuss why it’s worth the steep cost of earning it. Find familiar is my goto for the 1st-level spell, so it only makes sense to grab minor illusion off the Wizard spell list as well. I usually wind up with it due to constantly taking “Magic Initiate” as a feat. So minor illusion isn’t actually a druid spell, but it is one of my favorite spells in the game.
