    I’ve never gotten to cast it (not yet anyway)

    The biggest problem with casting Mighty Fortress is that you need a game to go to 17th level so you can learn Wish

    Yes, I know it’s an 8th level spell, but if you think that I’m coughing up a diamond for a temporary home you’re out of your mind.

      You can make it permanent if you cast it 53 times, and by the time you hit level 15, 500gp for a week of downtime with comfort and security is occasionally worth it. Our druid/cleric regularly casts greater restoration rather than wait for me to prepare remove curse the next morning.

      The spell mighty fortress is very specific about the size and shape of the castle it makes, but not about where walls are connected. Both are 120’ square areas with four 20’ turrets connected by 80’ walls, but the second one you get more interior space and can access your turrets without leaving the outer walls.

    Make this a level 15 ability for fighters and then emigrate so that the caster inquisition won‘t crucify you for doing it

        I wrote my opinions here:

        https://lemmy.world/comment/4184181

        Long story short: i like the idea, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired, and it’s basically unusable at this point. It’s very unbalanced, some buildings are clearly more useful than others, and having one bastion for each player is overkill. It also requires the campaign to stick to a very specific time schedule (a few weeks per level) that I honestly find very difficult to fit in any of the pre-existing modules, and certainly not any of the homebrew campaigns I’ve played with my friends.
