Damage/Effect
Fire
A flickering flame appears in your hand. The flame remains there for the duration and harms neither you nor your equipment. The flame sheds bright light in a 10-foot radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet. The spell ends if you dismiss it as an action or if you cast it again.
You can also attack with the flame, although doing so ends the spell. When you cast this spell, or as an action on a later turn, you can hurl the flame at a creature within 30 feet of you. Make a ranged spell attack. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 fire damage.
This spell's damage increases by 1d8 when you reach 5th level (2d8), 11th level (3d8), and 17th level (4d8).
This+wildshape=Flaming claw
Can you do a melee attack with it? Or a grapple?
I was wondering that to because i made a fire genasi monk and that would be frickin op on an unarmed strike
RAW no but some DMs might allow it.
Am I correct in the assumption I am only allowed one instance of this spell at a time? So no ridiculous amount of flames flying around waiting to just be sent on their way or extinguished?
You are correct. "The spell ends if you dismiss it as an action or you cast it again"
Thank you for clearing that up, sometimes I am running through things and forget to reread the spell description and duration. Thank you again
Any reason a DM shouldn't allow this to be adapted as a Wizard cantrip?
ummm I don't think that wizards should because they don't have the elemental plane running through their veins like genasi do, however I'm sure they could if they really studied conjuration.
Since it says the flame appears in your hand, does that mean you need to have a free hand to cast it or could I add it to the tip of my club since it doesn't harm my equipment and add fire damage to my club's attack?
Could this be used to set arrows on fire?
I’ve been allowing one of my player’s characters to do that, adding +1 to damage. I’m reconsidering that though; I think it might be more appropriate to use an action casting the spell and a subsequent action firing the (now flaming) arrow, for a bit more damage.
Does this spell benefit from the spell sniper feat?
Honestly I’m curious on why produce flame is not even part of the cantrips that wizard, Warlocks and Sorcerors can also learn besides it being exclusive to druid? Some spells like Eldritch Blast I understood for to being exclusive for warlocks. To me Produce Flame would fit well with all 4 of them but I could be wrong for all I know.
Casting word is:
Infernium Revealus
Since it makes a ranged spell attack, the attack portion of this spell does.
I really wish this wasn't just a druid spell. I can totally see a artificer trying to do a little handicraft and wanting to heat something up with their hands instead of setting up a whole fire and everything else. I have a character that wants to do some simple jewelry making and just wants to melt some gold or silver in a crucible to work on while he has down time
You can take out a torch, cast the spell, lit the torch, and throws the spell to attack. All in one turn.
I saw a comment below about a Genasi Monk and I have a few questions about whats legal and what isn't. What if I were to use PF to light my hands on fire then on my next action attack. Would this attack then do the damage of the strike plus the damage of the fire? I feel like there wouldn't be any problem playing it this way assuming that a regular PF lets you attack with the flames in the same action you've produced them. Of course the flames would have to be extinguished after every attack.
agreed. this sort of spell would simply make sense for just about all the casting classes to have honestly.
