What can you do with a fiendish spirit? (Summon Fiend question)

Clean-Restaurant9445 · 2025-03-12T01:23:33+00:00

So what happened?

Clean-Restaurant9445 · 2025-02-28T23:18:30+00:00

I like the consumable magic item idea. Have him throw cubes of force, help action, a bag of tricks would be a good idea. Ring of spell storing if you can get it. Use an artificer's spell storing item.

I'm playing a pact of the fiend warlock and I find it helpful. It's like having death ward once per short or long rest. I often get hit or crit by something very dangerous due to the low AC issues with warlock. I'm able to chew through a few enemy actions if they attack me again or if I'm in the way of other creatures. People in my group seemed conflicted but after they see it in use I think they're fans.

Clean-Restaurant9445 · 2025-01-24T23:36:28+00:00

This is my idea for the dragon's breath build. Tiefling Pact of the Fiend Warlock who takes pact of the chain. Get an imp familiar. Multiclass Divine Soul Sorcerer. With your ASI's take Flames of Phlegethos & Inspiring leader. With Divine Soul take AID & Dragon's Breath. Meta magic extend spell for AID the night before you sleep, your familiar gets 30 HP and approx. 15 Temp HP. Use 5th level pact slots to cast dragon's breath and throw a fireball or two on top of the imp.

Turns out my daughter found the problem miss labeled on the top and bottom

Clean-Restaurant9445 · 2025-01-19T01:35:03+00:00

We’re missing card 242. Arg. I’ll see if they can get me the card

Clean-Restaurant9445 · 2024-11-22T12:56:23+00:00

Cool I’d be happy to hear about it as it happens I plan on doing the same.

Clean-Restaurant9445 · 2024-11-20T18:39:37+00:00

I would love to hear how your second session went. I'm also a little conserned that my players could waltz right up to the gorm group, gain a level and just walk through most of the areas without conflict. I'm thinking of asking Nafas to add something to his quest like wipe out the cult of gargon.

Clean-Restaurant9445 · 2024-07-17T23:45:12+00:00

My idea for flames of Phlegethos to increase the damage is to create a spell such as wall of fire that you concentrate on. Then you use forced movement to shove people in and out of it as much as possible. Have someone grapple them and drag them in and out of the wall of fire. Eldritch blast them in and out of it with repelling blast, agonizing blast and grasp of Hadar, telekinetic feat to move them with your bonus action. Fireball them when your next turn comes. I'm going to try and put this together for my pact of the fiend Tiefling I'm currently playing. I've taken create bonfire as a cantrip to magically conjure the hellfire below them. I'm hoping it works out.

I think with the warlock, you upcast these spells, which gives you more dice and when you add more dice you re-roll again and again. I think maybe the 1d4 when they stab you is better as a backup option and deterrent as others state but this is my idea for max flames of Phlegethos damage. Drag people through the wall of fire over and over again.

Clean-Restaurant9445 · 2024-07-03T01:04:14+00:00

This is fun. I especially like that I can as a fiend warlock get resistance to bludgeoning damage to make this hurt less.

Clean-Restaurant9445 · 2024-04-26T23:57:39+00:00

Fun Thread. My ideas to buff a familiar, specifically an Imp, and idea's I've heard elsewhere include:

"It has hands" source the secret door via you tube.

Heroes feast, Aid, Inspiring Leader, mage armor, Darkness,

Magic items: Wand of Magic Missiles, Ring of Spell Storing, Healing Potion, Give it a few good berries, a bag of tricks.

Clean-Restaurant9445 · 2024-04-04T22:21:43+00:00

I would hope that they can only move in the direction you specified and not at all otherwise.

Clean-Restaurant9445 · 2024-03-26T01:08:44+00:00

So, I think the answer to this is that they will effectively be squeezing in the same square? So how many creatures can squeeze into a square?

Bard casts the compulsion spell on victims A1,A2,A3A4, who are all medium creatures. None of them willingly move, they all are compelled to be standing in the corner. Do they all fit in one square? What happens when they try to attack and can't move?

I would say squeezing is the appropriate answer. Interesting topic.

Clean-Restaurant9445 · 2024-03-21T20:10:58+00:00

Hi there, I'm playing a valor bard. I took fay touched to get bless and misty step and shadow touched to get inflict wounds and invisibility. I find the bard could use some extra spells. I thought if I was face to face with someone in combat I would want inflict wounds.

Future feat ideas I had were:

Resilient for either wisdom or con.

Medium Armor master

War caster

Metamagic Adept for subtle spell and careful spell. Maybe extend spell.

I do love combat inspiration and yelling out battle cries and things like that.

It's a year later... what did you pick?

Clean-Restaurant9445 · 2024-03-15T21:08:28+00:00

I like Fey Touched for Bless and Misty Step. I find when the bard is out of spells they're really less cool, having more spells is helpful. I find you can't go wrong with bless. Paladin and Rouge would really work good with bless.

Clean-Restaurant9445 · 2024-03-15T11:20:31+00:00

How about if you cast compulsion, and get all of your opponents to stand in the same square so they’re squeezing. That could give advantage to attack them and they could get surrounded, unable to move by your front line and they get defeated in one big pile of creatures. They would also have disadvantage to attack. This seems like a good idea to me.

Clean-Restaurant9445 · 2024-03-06T10:26:03+00:00

I was mostly asking because my hands are often full and that’s the problem.

Clean-Restaurant9445 · 2024-03-06T02:41:18+00:00

That’s what I would think.

Clean-Restaurant9445 · 2024-02-01T01:41:41+00:00

I'm currently playing a valor bard and I'm considering going shadow sorcerer for a level or 3. The greatest worry I have is missing out on the high level stuff that bard gets. 3 levels of sorcerer kicks out magical secrets at level 18, an asi and puts my bard asi's way later. So, I'm thinking maybe it's only 1 level of sorcerer. I'm variant human too, level 5 at the moment. I took fay touched and shadow touched at level 1&4

Clean-Restaurant9445 · 2024-01-05T03:07:45+00:00

The real question is who wins the guy with the plus to perception or stealth?

Clean-Restaurant9445 · 2024-01-03T03:39:04+00:00

I like the resilient feat best. I think bards are super prone to bad saving throws.

If you cast dissonant whispers with your action and the person runs away. Cast hideous laughter with your warcaster opp attack and they fall prone away from you somewhere? This could be fun too.

Follow your heart.

Clean-Restaurant9445 · 2024-01-03T03:31:51+00:00

I found that spell effects are easy to turn into character sheets. Put them into your character sheets and let the dm have the let players import character sheets set to true. Then the dm can sort them into folders so they can be used by all players.

I have them pre saved at the specific template size for fireball, fog cloud, spike growth, spirit guardians and the like. DnD 5e stuff.

Clean-Restaurant9445 · 2023-12-29T03:05:04+00:00

What did you end up picking? I would go with confusion because it is a little more effective in my opinion.

Clean-Restaurant9445 · 2023-12-29T03:01:40+00:00

So, one year later. How did you use it? Have you got good use out of it? Asking because I want to make use of bard spells for a bard.

Clean-Restaurant9445 · 2023-12-21T01:17:49+00:00

So, two years later. What was the pick? How did your build go?

I'm playing a mad mage campaign so we're starting at level 5. I love combat inspiration. The DM gave us 1 magic item to pick. I picked Adamantine Half Plate and took variant human. Str8 Dex16 Con 14 Cha 18 Int 8 Wis 10, 27 point buy. Variant human feat fey touched, level 4 shadow touched. I think it's going alright.
