	'''Cricket''' is a cantrip that conjures a large, three-inch cricket. If cared for, the creature has the potential to increase the luck of the recipient who possesses it. This requires the cricket be kept in a small cage or open bottle, which the caster must acquire and must be holding when the cantrip is cast. While the cricket is free to move in and out of the cage, it's happy to live there of its own accord for the duration of the cantrip.

 Customarily, the cage is attached to the recipient's person via a string, commonly affixed to a belt and positioned at the caster's back.  Once in place, the cricket gives a +1 [[Saving Throws|saving throw]] against any attack or [[Ability Checks|ability check]] where failure would result in physical [[Damage (hit points)|damage]].  If the saving throw fails, the cricket vanishes — thereafter, the cantrip must wait to be recast.
-Only one cricket can be created at any time; it, and the cage, can be gifted to another character, but thereafter it's new owner must remain in possession of the creature, receiving it's saving throw benefit, until the cantrip is dispelled.

+It is traditional to attach the cage by a string to the recipient's person, most commonly a belt.  This may be carried at the [[Rear & Flank Attacks|rear of the recipient]] or upon the left or right flank.  Once placed, the recipient gains a +1 [[Saving Throws|saving throw]] against any attack, or a +1 bonus to any [[Ability Checks|ability check]] when it is '''certain that [[Damage (hit points)|damage]]''' will result if the check fails.
-A possessor of the cricket will gain a +2 saving throw against any attack, regardless of what form it takes. If involved in a situation where an ability failure will cause the character to suffer damage, the +2 modifier may be applied to that.
+Each time the recipient succeeds in one of these rolls, the bonus provided by the cricket will increase by 1.  For example, Yorick makes a saving throw against magic while having the cricket tied to his belt, with a +1 bonus, and succeeds.  The next time Yorick would need to make a saving throw or a legitimate ability check, he would receive a +2 bonus.  The maximum bonus that can be accumulated is +5.
