Summon Fallen Hero

3rd-level necromancy (Bard)

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 20 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, 10 minutes

You allow a hero that died before their time to return to the material plane for a brief moment.

Roll a d3. You summon the hero assigned to the rolled number in their physical form, and with full hit points. If you had cast this spell already this game session or since the last long rest, you instead summon the hero you had summoned previously.

You and others can freely interact with the hero, and suggest a course of action to them. When you summon each hero for the first time, they are friendly to you and assume that you can work together for mutual benefit. The hero retains their memories between summons.

The DM has the hero’s statistics, and governs the hero's actions.

The spell ends early if the hero's hit points are depleted.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the hero has more hit points and gains a new ability for every two levels beyond the 3rd.
