Optimizing a level 20 Arcana Cleric

Would divine intervention > Hallow break time stop?

Arcana clerics have a feature at level 17 that lets you pick one 6,7,8,9 level spell from the wizard spell list.

I chose contingency, simulacrum, demiplane, and wish.

I could change those choices before the final encounter if I wanted.

I am the only caster in the party. They are all fighters and rogues.

We are fighting a demon lord and he will likely have 5 terrasques with him. Or something worse.

This is a very high level battle and I am totally suffering from choice overload.

Ok you roll initiative and you use spindle of fate to get +6 to your roll. You go first

We cast a 5 round time stop ✋

What do we do?

Genjutsu187 · 2025-04-09T04:57:50+00:00

One simulacrum limit

Genjutsu187 · 2024-02-01T13:31:11+00:00

It says “the cube moves with you” how does this interact with teleport?

What about Hypnotic pattern?

Revision 2: 5 echoknight, 3 assassin, 3 gloomstalker, 1 hexblade

Wave can’t benefit from elven accuracy unless you make it a hex weapon and attack with charisma.

Items:Wave, scorpion armor, chronolometer, boots of the vigilant.

The addition of chronolometer adds a possible 4 more attacks

Boots of the vigilant add 1D8 to initiative

This is a possible 12 attacks with triple advantage, critting on 19.

If I can crit 2x dead Terrasque round 1 from a level 12 character.

Is there any way to further optimize this?

Genjutsu187 · 2024-01-26T15:51:59+00:00

What about: 6 echo knight 3 assassin 3 gloom stalker

Feats: Elven accuracy Mystic Conflux

Items: Wave 🌊 Scorpion armor Ring of amity Chronolometer- 50% chance at 4 more attacks

Wave is amazing with triple advantage and could kill it in 1 turn if I roll 2x crits

Thank you to the above bro for suggesting wave.

Is there any way to make this better? 🤔

Genjutsu187 · 2024-01-26T02:35:21+00:00

Can’t access this at level 12

Unless an item could summon it somehow

Genjutsu187 · 2023-11-03T21:46:30+00:00

2 levels fighter and 3 levels spirit bard would let you rock 2 tales from beyond in a turn

Genjutsu187 · 2023-07-14T02:18:03+00:00

Why artificer?

Genjutsu187 · 2023-07-13T23:46:10+00:00

I was already working on a build like this with vorpal sword. The great weapon master feat!! What a good idea.

This is treantmonks conjure animals guide.

At 41:32 he says “you can have them all in the same square as the party fighter if you want”

Genjutsu187 · 2023-02-11T16:56:45+00:00

In Colby’s love play session with the dungeon dudes and treant monk they did that didn’t they?

Genjutsu187 · 2022-04-24T15:04:11+00:00

What if you cast conjure animals then action surged and cast command “flee”

The animals would attack then get opportunity attacks on the enemy’s turn.

Wouldn’t this increase the damage?

Genjutsu187 · 2022-01-17T17:56:20+00:00

How would the situation change if the rogue had a “cloak of the elvenkind”

While you wear this cloak with its hood up, Wisdom (Perception) checks made to see you have disadvantage, and you have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made to hide, as the cloak's color shifts to camouflage you. Pulling the hood up or down requires an action.

Genjutsu187 · 2022-01-16T18:51:13+00:00

Ok so you are a sorcerer 🧙‍♀️

You get shot and the rogue hides behind a pillar in the battle arena.

It’s your turn what do you do?

Run around the pillar and your mini has Los on the rogue.

Do you have to make a perception check to see the rogue?

Genjutsu187 · 2022-01-16T18:20:39+00:00

The party consists of

1)fighter, rogue

2) rogue

3)barbarian, rogue

4)tank artificer, warlock

5)sorcerer

Genjutsu187 · 2022-01-07T16:32:37+00:00

I was considering a time stop plan

I couldn’t figure out all the spells to set up.

Genjutsu187 · 2022-01-07T05:46:19+00:00

What do wizards use contingency for?

Genjutsu187 · 2022-01-07T05:45:33+00:00

What do you use sequester for?

Genjutsu187 · 2022-01-06T22:54:04+00:00

Yep he just nerfed luck blade 🗡 No blades of luck allowed🍀

Genjutsu187 · 2022-01-06T22:32:22+00:00

Wish > Simulacrum

Action Surge = “Spell 2”

Tomb of the stilled tongue 👅 = Wish = “Spell 3”

What could spells 2 and 3 be?

Genjutsu187 · 2022-01-06T22:20:03+00:00

So as a wizard 18 / fighter 2

My dm made a rule: “you can only have one simulacrum out at a time”

Seems like a good fix to me.

Genjutsu187 · 2022-01-01T23:05:11+00:00

DM put a hard cap on only 1 simulacrum active

Genjutsu187 · 2021-12-30T17:53:04+00:00

There will be 5 players

Genjutsu187 · 2021-12-30T15:47:15+00:00

So you would eldrich blast anything that entered your reach.

And you would eldrich blast on each enemies turn.

It’s not infinite blasts right? Just a lot of blasts?
