#tenser's floating disk

Feat: Magic Trick

Select one of the listed spells; as long as you meet any other listed prerequisites, you may use any tricks associated with that spell. You may take this feat multiple times; each time you do, it applies to a different spell.

Spells Affected: daylight, fireball, mage hand, obscuring mist, prestidigitation, shield, Tenser’s floating disk, unseen servant

Spiffy Tricks: gaining additional uses out of a floating disk you’re riding on, punching people with mage hand, using alchemist’s fire as a material component for your fireballs so that they light everything on fire, etc.

Some of the tricks are things the spells in question could do already. For example, there is nothing in 3.x that says you cannot ride on your floating disk so long as it can support your weight; that’s WotC being the fun police in 5e. However, in that case it spells out what doing so accomplishes and also gives you some benefits (you can mount the disk as part of the same action as casting it and you gain better flight on the Astral Plane).

I’d like to see this applied to more spells, but hopefully with less reliance on additional feat prerequisites. A 5e version would be cool, too.

We don’t have enough Horses for our whole party. We do however have the Tenser’s Floating Disk spell and just finished making a custom saddle for it. At the moment the dwarf is capable of staying on the disk at speeds of 200 feet a round.

Dnd Spells: Tenser's Floating Disk

Tenser's Floating Disk is a level 1 Conjuration spell. Casting Time is 1 action or it can be cast as a ritual Range is 30 feet Requires a Verbal and Somatic Component spell ingredient is a drop of mercury Duration is 1 hour.

This spell creates a circular, horizontal plane of force, 3 feet in diameter and 1 inch thick, that floats 3 feet above the ground in an unoccupied space of your choice that you can see within range. The disk remains for the duration and can hold up to 500 pounds. If more weight is placed on it, the spell ends, and everything on the disk falls to the ground.

The disk is immobile while you are within 20 feet of it. If you move more than 20 feet away from it, the disk follows you so that it remains within 20 feet of you. It can move across uneven terrain, up or down stairs, slopes and the like, but it can’t cross an elevation change of 10 feet or more. For example, the disk can’t move across a 10-foot-deep pit, nor could it leave such a pit if it was created at the bottom.

If you move more than 100 feet from the disk (typically because it can’t move around an obstacle to follow you), the spell ends.
