Casting Time: 1 reaction, which you take when an enemy tries to make a surprise attack against you
Range/Area: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Instant
Damage/Effect: Control
You foresee your foe’s strike a split second before it occurs. When you cast this spell successfully, you also designate a number of your allies that can see or hear you equal to your spellcasting ability modifier + your proficiency bonus. Those allies are also not surprised by the attack and can act normally in the first round of combat. If you would be surprised, you must make a check using your spellcasting ability at the moment your reaction would be triggered. The check DC is equal to the current initiative count. On a failed check, you are surprised and can’t use your reaction to cast this spell until after your next turn. On a successful check, you can use your reaction to cast this spell immediately.
Available for: Bard, Cleric, Druid, Ranger, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard with Temporal Specialization
