The ability to maximize spell damage was occasionally useful, especially for clearing trash.ġ. The boosted damage from adding my ability modifier to evocation spell damage helped at times. I found the evocation specialist enjoyable. There are a few ritual spells like Leomund's Tiny Hut and Contact Higher Plane (once the Int save is trivial) that are useful.ģ. No other class can so conveniently use ritual spells. As long as the spell is in your book, you get to use it as a ritual. You especially don't need to use an even more precious spell known slot for a ritual spell. You don't need to use a precious memorization slot for a ritual spell. No other class has this level of versatility or even close to it.Ģ. You can easily put any new spells found into your spell book. You can change your memorized spells as needed per day. You get the most spells by virtue of class progression. Spell list is the most versatile of the casters.
Life as a wizard: The wizard is pretty powerful when the deck isn't stacked against him by designers that make opponents with flashing neon signs that say "Only martials may kill this.
#Tyranny of dragons plus#
500 plus hit points gets eaten up pretty quick by a Great Weapon using Fighter/Barbarian with a magic dragon slaying sword and a smiting paladin using Vow of Enmity. Fortunately, he didn't need to do anything. My wizard pretty much stood around doing nothing. No way to determine other than DM choice, creature description, and recent precedent, so we allowed it to work. Not sure if it was intended, but we allowed Circle of Power to work against Tiamat's breath weapons considering them magical effects, since dragons are listed as magical creatures and their breath weapons were considered magical in 3rd edition. Once he ran out of superiority dice and had done well over 150 to 200 damage, he swung without Great Weapon Mastery.Ĭleric healed and stayed out of combat to maintain bless. The barbarian/fighter used reckless with his superiority dice doing a ton of damage using Great Weapon Mastery. We healed the paladin, since he was the main target of her ire due to al the smite damage he unloaded. The fight consisted of Tiamat's heads coming through one per round while the martials unloaded on her with bless, smites, action surges, superiority dice, and a vow. The leader of the Cult's activities, Severin, was a complete push over. If this is the kind of encounter design we can expect from WotC, I see no reason to play a caster at all. Basically, you buff the martials and stand around doing nothing. So the entire fight was designed to make casters useless in combat. Resistant to damage from non-magical weapons making animate objects marginally useful for damage. Multiple uses of Legendary Resistance in case one of your two spell slots happens to affect her.Ĥ. It doesn't much matter considering she is immune to all your spells below 6th level including your cantrips.ģ. Immune to most types of energy or resistance. You have 1 7th and 1 8th level spell slot at 15th level to possibly affect her.Ģ. Immune to spells below 6th level, meaning cantrips and all but two spell slots at level 15. They designed Tiamat to be completely immune to magic for all intents and purposes.ġ. The fight consisting of casting a fly spell and watching the martial characters swing at Tiamat.
The final encounter in Tyranny Dragons against Tiamat was boring, especially as a caster.
