Arcknight Spell Effects Templates

Fun to use at the table. Helps players remember spells and how they work. Very nice visualization, and the graphics are great.

The Arcknight Spell Effects Templates are a total game-changer for my D&D 5E sessions! As a DM, I’ve always struggled with accurately visualizing area-of-effect spells, but these templates make it effortless. Whether it’s a Fireball, Cone of Cold, or Lightning Bolt, every spell size and shape is covered, making combat smoother and more immersive for everyone at the table.The double-sided printing is brilliant—clear, detailed graphics on one side and helpful reference notes on the other. It’s so convenient to have damage codes, saving throws, and other details right there on the template. Plus, the transparent plastic design works perfectly with a 1-inch grid system, so there’s no confusion during gameplay.This set is packed with value! You get 24+ spell templates, along with tokens for buffs, conditions, inspiration, and summoning. It’s incredibly versatile, designed for D&D 5E but adaptable to other RPG systems. The included storage case is a nice bonus—it keeps everything organized and easy to transport.Knowing this set is Matt Mercer-approved is the icing on the cake. If it’s good enough for Critical Role, it’s good enough for my table! Whether you’re a player or a DM, this set is an essential tool that will enhance your games and streamline combat. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I’ve been looking at these for a while and finally pulled the trigger and bought them and am so glad I did. They are great quality, pliable yet they don’t seem like the will tear or break. While I knew that they were outlined in spell effects (fire, ice, water, etc), they also have the description of the spell along the outline of the item, which I think is very helpful. In addition, they seemed to really use every inch of the plastic by adding on little round tokens for familiars, and for some of the more popular wild shape items for druids. Even has inspiration tokens, and bardic inspiration tokens. Overall, I expect to get a lot of use out of them.My only negative critique is that they plastic folder they give you to store everything in is not big enough to fit the lightening bolt effect in without it having to curl up. It’s possible that if you’re not careful, it could get damaged.

TLDR: Worth the $$$ and 99% accurate.I went thru these templates 1 by 1 and compared them to D&D 5e sourcebooks to see if they had accurate information printed on them, which they do. These templates have heavily summarized info, which is good. Most of the spells do extra stuff, but that's for the player to be aware of. These are useful to get thru turns quicker and smoother with some visual spice. Only 1 side of each template has text, so once you're familiar with what things are you can enjoy the artwork more. I paid $50, but I think $35-40 is more reasonable considering its material and target audience.Errors & Nitpicking:- Black Bear To Hit +3/+3 when it should be +4/+4.- Brown Bear To Hit is +5/+5 when it should be +6/+6.- Armor of Agathys shows HP but it's Temp HP being affected (most likely shortened to fit on small piece).- Bardic Inspiration doesn't specify d6.- "Cloud Kill" should be "Cloudkill".- Sleet storm is marked as 30 ft when it's 40 ft (not a big deal, just use the 40 ft template).

I love the designs and overall options. It is a little funny to me that they have a few spells with the same radius or size but it’s not a bad thing to have two 20’ radius spheres. I do which they had a wedge for 60’ radius like they did for meteor swarm’s 40’ radius because Sunburst is a thing. But overall great options and I like many of the little extra tokens.

Everything match the description, great product.

These look great and my players love them. Down side is that they are so big and I'm a travel DM

Very good and accurate. Can’t wait to play my sorcerer and use this instead of my friends borrowing it.
