I originally had this as Like, but then I realised that the spell that we can compare this against is {{SRD5|Vicious Mockery}} which deals 1d4 Psychic Damage. The thing that's making this spell feel better to me is the fact it's a touch spell. I'm unsure. Will probably revisit this rating.
 
 
 
I really like the fact that we're using Proficiency Bonus in place of a flat static number though.

Ratings

RatedNeutral.png Vaegrim is neutral on this article and rated it 2 of 4.
I'm nervous about Temp HP from a cantrip; but the limitations (self only, about as much as Heroism) keep it relatively under control. My biggest complaint is the upcasting messing with range as well as damage.

With the change to dealing a d4 in damage die, and still keeping the proficiency bonus (which scales like good cantrips) for the temp hit points, I can say that I enjoy this.


On Balance

At first glance the spell seems to be overpowered for a cantrip. Both damaging an enemy and giving temporary hit points to the caster. However...

  • The damage is low (d6)
  • Temporary Hit Points do not stack. So you cannot build up a huge reserve of temporary hit points.

Responses to Ratings

To Vaegrim — Thank you for your response and rating. Initially, I had it increase further at higher levels. I removed that. I considered starting with reach, but thought that it was too much for a cantrip at 1st level. This was the compromise. Compare it to Chill Touch that does more damage at a 120 ft. range. Again, thank you for taking the time to look at the spell. --Rlyehable (talk) 18:23, 23 April 2019 (MDT)

I have updated the spell to simplify and reduce damage. --Rlyehable (talk) 09:28, 14 June 2019 (MDT)
