Critical Flavor – Spells is a Fantasy Grounds 5E companion extension For Critical Flavor. It brings your magical arsenal to life with dynamic, descriptive narration. Whenever you cast or land (or even miss) a spell attack—from cantrips like Eldritch Blast and Booming Blade through 1st–3rd-level spells such as Chromatic Orb, Scorching Ray, and Vampiric Touch—vivid, randomized text automatically appears in the chat window. Each message is tailored not only to the spell but also to the outcome (hit, critical hit, or miss) and the target’s name, transforming every spellcasting moment into a mini-scene of cinematic flair.

Seamlessly integrated into your game, Critical Flavor – Spells requires no additional steps: just drop the .ext file into your Fantasy Grounds extensions/ folder. In The Forge, it will show up under “Critical Flavor – Spells” in your Extensions list for instant activation. Whether you’re raining down prismatic fury with Chromatic Orb, unleashing spectral cold with Ray of Frost, or summoning divine might with Guiding Bolt, this addon ensures that every spell in your repertoire feels epic, personalized, and utterly unforgettable.

Under the hood, dynamic synonym lists (launch, unleash, send forth) and action verbs (scorching, chilling, crackling) keep every line fresh. After your damage roll, you’ll see:

These little touches make every spell feel truly epic.
