Ravenous void is an acceptable control spell against low strength targets in a wide area that unfortunately has to compete with the likes of force cage, time stop, prismatic wall, and others that don't care what your target is. Time ravage is a 5000gp 9th level equivalent to the likes of blindness. Disadvantage on all d20 rolls is powerful, but anything worth hitting with this has legendary saves. It's not going to go off. It's contending with, again, spells that offer no save or force multiple, like force cage and prismatic wall. It's the wizard spell list. If it doesn't meet the gold standard for the spell level in question, it probably shouldn't be of that level.

If you use wish to create a simulacrum of yourself, the simulacrum does not have your 9th level spell slot because you had to expend that spell slot to cast it in the first place, thus making it a simulacrum of yourself just after casting your one 9th level spell slot. This will work however if you have Simulacrum *and* Wish, because you can go through the simulacrum spell the usual way and cast it at 7th level, then your simulacrum will still have the wish spell with a 9th level spell slot to use. You have to long rest first, and then have your simulacrum use Wish to create a simulacrum of yourself. Your simulacrum’s simulacrum will then be a version of yourself that has all of its spellslots, and this can be repeated infinitely.

Well it says that specifically about using the abstract effects. Basically anything that triggers the clause that has a 1/3 to make your character lose the ability to cast Wish altogether. There’s nothing in the rules of the spell that allow the DM to outright stop you duplicating a spell with Wish. Of course, the DM can do whatever the hell they want, but in this instance, it’d be wrong of them since it goes against RAW.

That's just having shitty DMs, assuming your wishes aren't "I wanna break the entire game and ruin it for everyone". Something like "I wish I knew how to get into this fortress" or "I wish I knew the command word for this artifact" shouldn't really be tampered with. Though it depends where you get the wish from. If your wish comes from a Devil you should have to be very careful with your wording always, that's kinda their thing. I take a completely different view with 9th level spells as a whole, cause they're REALLY powerful and just having ONE can make you insane. They're so powerful I think they should be EARNED by more than just reaching level 17. The way I see them you need to acquire them specifically. So a wizard for example has been working to learn stronger spells and upon reaching level 17 they'll unlock ONE 9th level spell that is most relevant to their character or field of study, for example if they really like evocation they'll learn meteor swarm. If they like abjuration maybe prismatic wall. Then they cannot learn other 9th level spells by any means other than accomplishing tasks that causes the DM to give them to you, even if you level up you can't take your 2 free spells for your book at 9th level.

The main caveat about Polymorph over the likes of True Polymorph is that the Poly and Mass Poly can ONLY turn you into beasts. You can't turn them into humanoids or constructs, etc. The highest level beast available outside of homebrew is a T-Rex at CR 8... so Poly/Mass Poly on one or more Lv20 players would in theory allow up to CR10-20 creatures, but since they can only be beasts, it's CR8 or lower only. True Polymorph is the ONLY spell of the three that can allow players to become CR9 or higher creatures. As for using it to become an Adult Gold/Ancient Brass Dragon to use the Shapechange ability, said ability ONLY allows for humanoids or beasts, so no Planetars or the like, as they're Celestials. Meteor Swarm CAN have player protected added to it if you're playing an Evocation Wizard, and their Sculpt Spells feature, allowing them to designate X amount of targets to be unaffected by Evocation AoE spells (that require a saving throw), equal to 1 + the spell's level... so up to 10 targets can be safe from the explosions of a Meteor Swarm. Alternately, just gather the party together under a Wall of Force shaped like a dome, and then just carpet bomb the rest of the battlefield.

I think the more interesting list would be "10 Best 8th Lv spells" because 8th Lv spells are (rightly so) kind of dismissed because they pale in comparison to the 9th Lv spells, but the weaker still 6th and 7th Lv spells get more of a pass by comparison because they come online earlier and will therefore be used more frequently. That said, there are some great 8th Lv spells, Like Feeblemind and Maze (INT saving throw proficiencies are rare, and these spells can outright end an encounter), Glibness (In the hands of a Bard with Counterspell, they can't roll lower than a 15 on the Charisma check on their Counterspell, plus you just talked your way out of any situation before then), Holy Aura (Advantage on saving throws and enemies have disadvantage to hit for you and your allies within 30 Ft of you), Animal Shapes (for when you convince otherwise weak and pathetic townsfolk to fight beside you, fill a 30 ft area around you with them and turn them into CR4 beasts) and Mind Blank (to make your Bear Totem Barbarian immune to Psychic Damage), and that doesn't even include the accompanying books, including my personal favorite 8th Lv spell: Illusory Dragon (because Shadow Dragon: f**k yeah).

My favourite combo with Time Stop requires two things: A Bag of Holding or a Portable Hole, and 1-4 kegs of gunpowder (depending on how well you rolled when Time Stop is cast). You can see where I'm going with this already but just to be clear; You cast Time Stop, walk up to the enemy, and on each of your turns you take out a keg and place it near them, then on your last turn you walk + Misty Step a safe distance away and then cast Fire Bolt on the nearest keg... BOOM! Each keg deals 7d6 fire damage, which is just 1d6 short of a Fireball, so depending on how many kegs you were able to place, that can mean anywhere up to 7d6 to 28d6 fire damage, granted they get to make a DC 12 Dex save for each keg, but chances are high they'll faill at least 1, and unless they are immune or resistant to fire damage, that's still a fuck ton of damage they're taking! It's even better when you're up against a lot of weak enemies + the boss, since you can instantly wipe out the minions and soften up the boss at the same time.

For wish, here's how I see it working: It depends on what the wish is casting the wish. If the wish isn't being cast by anything, so it's somehow a wish given to you by the universe, then the wish has no guiding intellect behind it and as such when the wish is made it will take what you wish for literally and will grant it in the way that uses the least amount of power to do. As an example, if you wish to be the greatest at something the wish has two options, it can eliminate everything better then you, or it can buff you to be the greatest at that thing, and of those two, buffing you is the option requiring the least amount of power to do. If cast by a wizard or something else, then the wish has the guiding intellect of the caster and should fulfill the wish as the caster desires it to be fulfilled unless the caster is asking for something that would require to much power to do, such as doing the equivalent of a 10th level spell.

Wish is so broken it even breaks the idea of being broken. For instance, if you use the spell to cast disintegrate on a creature, since wish doesn’t need to meet any of the spell’s requirements, it has infinite range. So an evil wizard can just chill in their tower after getting robbed by a rogue, cast wish, and the rogue just turns to dust with no sound or warning. Believe me, the only true limits of this spell, even for simple spell replications, are only limited by your imagination.

As I understand it, you can’t wish for 25k gold pieces. You can only wish for an object worth that amount. A small distinction but it does require finding a buyer who can pay that much for a single gem, etc.

I was thinking of using a prismatic wall style Dome around a city and it would be used to block the BBEG's main base I still can't decide when breaking the wall if it's only going to create small holes or if it should deactivate the entire layer of the Dome. also for more information I am running a low Magic campaign. my players can play as primary spell casters however it is very rare for them to have access to resources (there are no focuses outside of "legendary" stabs and wands) especially if they are an arcane caster.

I'm quite sure the wish spell doesn't allow upcasting a spell, it simply allow you to cast a spell from any spell list up to lvl 8 spells but at base level. But agreed it's a great spell, might be getting it soon for my character since I'm closing in on lvl 17. But I mostly intend to use it fluff-wise rather than trying to cream it out till it breaks. Going up against Tiamat soon-ish, so my thought is to use it during the battle to wish to exchange 100 years of his life span to resurrect and restore his allies and give them a chance to defeat Tiamat. My character is a half-elf, so 100 years is basically half his life expectancy. Gonna suggest to DM that what he's asking for is basically fully healed and alive allies with some temporary hit points and perhaps some resistance to dmg as long as those temporary hit points last. Having sneak peeked at Tiamats rule I feel like my sorcerer isn't really gonna be able to do much since he will have three spell slots to use that will actually be able to affect Tiamat since she's immune to lvl 6 spells and below. Might use some buff on allies, but aside from that he'll be pretty useless honestly =/

Can't you mass polymorph the enemy into a large sea creature that cant move on land? Then you can slowly pick them off 1 by 1?
@haku8135
2 жыл бұрын
Well you COULD turn them into something that can't move on land, but once you drop the creature's health to zero it'll turn back into the original creature. So if you turn it into a mouse and then fireball the mouse, you kill the mouse and now have a pissed off creature remaining after it turns back to normal. The damage carries over, but it needs to burn through the new creature's hp first.

I'm surprised you didn't mention Blade of Disaster. You create a blade-shaped planar rift about 3 feet long in an unoccupied space you can see within range. The blade lasts for the duration. When you cast this spell, you can make up to two melee spell attacks with the blade, each one against a creature, loose object, or structure within 5 feet of the blade. On a hit, the target takes 4d12 force damage. This attack scores a critical hit if the number on the d20 is 18 or higher. On a critical hit, the blade deals an extra 8d12 force damage (for a total of 12d12 force damage). As a bonus action on your turn, you can move the blade up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see and then make up to two melee spell attacks with it again. The blade can harmlessly pass through any barrier, including a Wall of Force. It does sooo much damage.

Careful with those, I've noticed mistakes before, and indeed the Mass Polymorph card doesn't mention the Temp HP. I was really confused and had to verify it for myself. So don't rely on those too heavily, if you were going to, or at least be aware that things can be missing (presumably for tidiness to fit on a card)

@@tiagorafael2542 I don't know what happens RAW but I feel like it's definitely against the spirit of the spell to do it this way. If you were supposed to turn CR 1/4 creatures into CR9 creatures, the spell would just say so. I would probably rule that a creature polymorphed into an object can only be polymorphed into a creature as if that object was still the creature in question, instead of following the normal rules for Object Into Creature. After all, if you Dispel Magic on the object if reverts into the creature, so its essence remains in the object in some way. Then again, Wish at the same level just makes an infinite chain of wizards, so what do I know about spells that break the game.
