Lost in the Underdark? Need to whisper sweet nothings to the party rogue from across the battlefield? The Message spell in D&D 5e is your low-level telecommunication lifeline! This simple cantrip allows you to send a silent, 25-word message to a creature within 120 feet that you know.
Why is it useful? Think stealth operations. Relay crucial information without alerting enemies. Coordinate attacks. Even discreetly warn a party member about a trap ahead. Message bypasses physical barriers, meaning walls and doors aren't an issue!
Important considerations: The target *must* be someone you know. So, no randomly messaging the BBEG hoping for a truce. They also hear the message in their mind, making it undetectable by eavesdroppers. While simple, Message is a versatile spell that adds a layer of tactical depth to any campaign. Use it wisely, and your party will thank you!
