Brutal Spell in Dungeons & Dragons 5e
Brutal Spell [Metamagic]
Prerequisites: Spellcasting or Sorcery Class Feature
When you cast a spell that deals damage, you can empower it to be brutal like certain weapons. To do so, you must expend a spell slot at least one level higher than normal. When you do, the spell gains the Brutal property with a value equal to the number of slot levels above the normal that you spent plus one. For example, if you spend a slot one level higher than normal, the spell gains the Brutal 2 property, and so any damage die that rolls a 1 is instead treated as though it was a 2. If you are a sorcerer, you can spend any number of additional sorcery points to cause a spell to be a brutal spell. When you do, the brutal property equals half the number of additional sorcery points you spend plus one. For example, if you spend 2 additional sorcery points, your spell gains the Brutal 2 property.
