Spell Description

You bless up to three creatures of your choice within range. Whenever a target makes an attack roll or a saving throw before the spell ends, the target can roll a d4 and add the number rolled to the attack roll or saving throw.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, you can target one additional creature for each slot level above 1st.

Is Bless Good?

Overall Rating: Sky Blue. This means that bless is an amazing spell. If you do not take this spell your character would not be optimized.

Overall Notes: Bless is simply an amazing 1st-level buff. Adding 1d4 to all attacks and saving throws can really add up over a combat encounter. When given the choice, it's almost always worth it to cast bless on your party than bane on your opposition.

Class Specific Ratings for Bless

Peace Domain cleric: What's better than adding 1d4 to your attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws? Adding 2d4! Stacked with Emboldening Bond, bless can provide insane value to help make sure your party member's attacks hit while at the same time avoiding nasty effects.
