Sep 9, 2021 · As for Crown of Madness, I think it is a fine spell when you gain access to it at level 3. At that point the chances of having a humanoid enemy whose attacks do more damage than you can with your action as a full spellcaster are reasonably high, you've got to get the most out of every spell slot, and not upcasting (like the rival Hold Person ...

Sep 9, 2021 · Unfortunately, the very visible spell effect (the iron crown) gives the game away against reasonably bright foes.

However, the 5e PHB includes a new-to-me spell, crown of madness. As far as I can tell, this is the in-combat substitute: It's slightly, but not exaggeratedly...

Aug 17, 2024 · Probably 4 if your talking about humanoids. Same level as dominant beast. And 1 level before domain person. 4th level for a spell that only lasts one round even on a failed save? Way too high.
