Tip 1: Remember that using this will drop Concentration on any other spell you have going. Tip 2: Remember that this has to be cast in advance of an action, not as a reaction on another's combat turn. Tip 3: Remember that you can't add this after the d20 is rolled (when you notice that the result is not quite enough).
Buff. You touch a willing creature and choose a skill. Until the spell ends, the creature adds 1d4 to any ability check using the chosen skill. Spell Tags: Buff. Available For: Cleric Druid Artificer Cleric Druid. D&D Free Rules (2024), pg. 282.
Now one of the two guidance spells ends after the effect took place. After that the suppressed second spell becomes active, since there is no more overlapping effects; Now Frodo can roll his d4 for the second guidance spell -> rolls a 3; Now Frodo chooses to use that 3 for his lock picking.
Plan your rolls. Every roll should have a very good reason, else drop it. And then you can decide, in the current situation, if it is possible/feasible to use Guidance and/or Help. In the end, if you put them in front of a closed door and there is no urgency, they should be able to pray to the gods and help each other.
Magical Guidance 5th-level sorcerer feature You can tap into your inner wellspring of magic to try to conjure success from failure. When you make an ability check that fails, you can spend 1 sorcery point to reroll the d20, and you must use the new roll, potentially turning the failure into a success. Magical Guidance.
You can use cantrips at will with the only cost being the time to cast it. Guiding Bolt is a 1st level spell. Any spell of 1st level or higher always requires a spell slot to cast (unless you have a feature that specifically states otherwise). Being in combat does not change what is required to cast a spell.
\$\begingroup\$ I think the fact that Guidance has, on average, less benefit to the roll than the Help action is a good reference point. One way you could look at it is as a Help action that can be separated in time from the action it's helping and can be used even if the helper isn't normally capable of helping with the action.
Players are likely to have their own internal sense here, based on 5e's paradigms. Expecting them to concentrate on Guidance after it's been used likely wouldn't be intuitive to them. Same with altering initiative mid-combat (discussed here), which isn't done in 5e (much to my disappointment, for other reasons). I of course have no stake in how ...
Guidance. You touch one willing creature. Once before the spell ends, the target can roll a d4 and add the number rolled to one ability check of its choice. That feels wrong to me, since a pair of 1-level characters can have ridiculously high (up to +10, +6 average) bonus to an ability check.
Poison. You extend your hand toward a creature you can see within range and project a puff of noxious gas from your palm. The creature must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or take 1d12 poison damage. This spell's damage increases by 1d12 when you reach 5th level (2d12), 11th level (3d12), and 17th level (4d12).
