It doesn't allow you to automatically understand the creature's language, give the creature the ability to actually understand your language (unlike the Find Steed spell), or give it any special ability to communicate with you.Īs per comment, they may not even understand the actual commands, being driven more so by magical impulse at the intent behind your words rather than by the words themselves. Conjure Animals Source: Player's Handbook 3rd-level conjuration Casting Time: 1 action Range: 60 feet Components: V, S Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour You summon fey spirits that take the form of beasts and appear in unoccupied spaces that you can see within range. They obey any verbal commands that you issue to them. Wild Shape on the other hand makes the distinction that you can only assume the shape of a beast that you have seen before. Seemingly you could conjure a creature that you've never seen before. So it's not clear the spells would work at all unless you were granted magic communication ability as part of the spell. There's no indication about languages, but then Conjure Animals allows you to summon lots of creatures that have no languages at all. Since there is no mention of language in Conjure X's description, it will follow your commands regardless of the language you speak them in (although I think it would be a reasonable assumption that it has to be a known language within the DnD universe, not just one you made up on the spot). The Conjure Animals Spell doesn't seem to have any limitations on what you can conjure beside the number per CR, and that they have to be beasts. They obey any verbal commands that you issue to them. The spell has no effect if the target is undead, if it doesn’t understand your language, or if your command is directly harmful to it. 8x Giant Owl has Flyby attack, and hit for +3 to hit, 2d6+1 damage on hit. 8x Velociraptor, while it may look like the Pact Tactics would get more DPR, they are more vulnerable to enemy AoE. It's specifically called out that the target must be able to understand your language.Ĭommand ( PHB, page 223) is another example: I was looking at the options for Conjure Animal and found the Giant Owl seems way OP. It is also extremely useful as a way to divert damage from party members. Overall Notes: Conjure animals can greatly improve your action economy in a fight by giving you more allies to attack with in a turn. If you do not take this spell your character would not be optimized. You must speak to the target to describe how it's memories are affected, and it must be able to understand your language for the modified memories to take root. Overall Rating: Sky Blue.This means that conjure animals is an amazing spell. Let's look at something like Modify Memory ( PHB, page 261) If the spell required you to share a language with the creature, it would say so.
