Your wild magic chance is the likelihood of a wild magic event occurring whenever you cast a spell, use a magic item that requires activation, or use an ability from a magic sphere. It can increase or decrease through a variety of sources such as class abilities, feats, boons, and drawbacks, but it can never be reduced below 0.
When you use such a triggering ability, roll a d100. If you roll at or below your wild magic chance, a wild magic event occurs. A wild magic event counts as a spell or magic sphere effect, but its results are random, requiring a roll on one of the tables below. If your wild magic chance is over 100, then a wild magic event automatically happens, then reduce your wild magic chance by -100 and roll to see if a second wild magic event also occurs. If two events have conflicting results, the GM decides what happens. If not using the major event rules (see Variant Rules), then no effect may have a wild magic chance above 200%.
If an event calls for a saving throw, the saving throw DC is equal to the saving throw DC of whatever effect triggered the wild magic roll (or 8 + the originator’s proficiency bonus + their key ability modifier/highest mental ability score, if there was no save DC). A caster’s resistance or immunity never applies to wild magic events that they trigger.
Wild Magic Cantrips
If you possess the wild magic drawback, any wild magic talent, or another ability that imposes a wild magic chance on your casting abilities, you can always choose a target within 30 feet as an Action to roll 1d100 on the cantrips wild magic table. Use your normal sphere DC for any cantrip results that call for a saving throw.
Augment 1 sp: You can use this ability as a bonus action.
Augment 1 sp: You can roll twice and choose either result.
Augment 1 sp: You can instead roll on the general wild magic table.
Variant Rules
If the Game Master so desires, they can use any of the following variant rules:
Dangerous Concentration
When someone with a wild magic chance fails a Constitution saving throw to maintain concentration, the GM may decide to make a wild magic roll to see if the breaking of concentration triggers an event.
Major Events
If the GM desires, wild magic chances can go above 200%, and a chance of 200% or more might result in a major event. These events are significantly greater in scope, and might permanently alter a character, or even the world itself. Creating a major wild magic event reduces the caster’s wild magic chance by -200 when determining if a roll is still required for a minor event as well.
