Don't forget shatter! Level 2 spell with 60 ft. range, and one of the few that also damages nonmagical objects! And 3d8+ an extra 1d8 above 2nd level, is plenty enough to collapse even most stone bridges, a tunnel, or bypass the need to unlock most doors. Or you can cut down trees, remove the cover someone is hiding behind in a fight, or knock a hole in a building's wall if you need to make a speedy retreat! Is super underrated spell in my opinion, I almost never see people use it for some reason.

My party and I were faced with a red dragon at level 9 or 10(I forget the exact level, but real early to fight a dragon), we knew two things, dragon bad fight, and it's blind, meaning if we spoke draconic and wore a couple smelly necklaces we looted off the dracokin that were guarding the elevator(long story short, our campaign atm is a ton of mini encounters within a box, and we get to each one through an elevator that mysteriously opens only when we've met whatever criteria of the area.) RP went south real fast and the dragon prepared to spew fire because the dracokin are fireproof and their 'prisoner', our Barbarian, Ogg, was not. My Warlock used one of her few spellslots to Misty Step on top of the Dragons giant stone throne, and for the rest of the fight she was untouchable because the dragon was pinned to the throne within the first round by a stalagtite. Misty Step is so good

Polymorph is top tier utility spell. Cast it on a baddie and turn them into a snail or a turtle then throw them off a cliff. Cast it as a 'heal' on an ally with 5hp and turn them into a Giant Ape. Turn yourself or someone else into an inconspicuous animal to scout ahead or hide while being pursued. Turn yourself or someone else into giant eagle and carry others over wide lava flows or up a 500ft cliff on a mountain Turn someone into a Huge or larger beast and be a travel mount for the party. Save someone from drowning or explore underwater areas by being a sea creature. Save someone from falling to their death by polying them into a flying beast. I think you get the picture. It can buff allies, debuff enemies, trivialize exploration encounters, and it can 'heal'

The best use of rope trick is to cast it in combat. It has a casting time of one action. So you can go into your pocket dimension, lean out, cast a spell, lean back in, and be unable to be attacked until your next turn when you lean out to attack and go back in again. Effectively untouchable unless your enemy holds their action to attack you when you lean out.

Goodberry's material component is missiletoe which is also a Druid/Ranger spell casting focus so while I understand that idea behind the alteration it doesn't seem appropriate since the berries come from the Mistletoe you are using magic to grow a plant just like druidcraft but in this instance the berries retain the life giving energy when you consume them. So you can just buy a bunch of Druid Foci or buy a mistletoe plant and carry it with you and use druidcraft to make it bloom again and take the leaf.

Goodberries are even better if you a multiclass 1st level life cleric. Their feature (can’t remember) adds an extra spell level + 2 of healing to a leveled spell. This works on each berry. Suddenly you have 40 hp of out of combat healing on a 1st level spell. This is so strong it’s worth upcasting for 10 more points of healing per cast level.

Recently minor illusion saved my life during Hoard of the Dragon Queen. For some context, I was playing a level 3 female Eladrin Divination Wizard and my party was infiltrating a Cultists camp to rescue an NPC. The camp had over 100 Kobolds, mercenaries, and cultists, and unfortunately a few had seen us fighting their forces in town the day before. This meant that stealth was key and one terrible roll could get us all into some serious trouble. Naturally, I have some of the worst rolls I've ever had in DND. Not being sneaky or a good liar, I had my wizard casts Disguise Self to turn into a male cultist so she could walk around the camp freely and access restricted areas. My plan instantly backfires when I roll below 10 to recreate the appearance of the cultist's robes and helmets, as such, my disguise was only somewhat passable (While it allowed me not to be recognized it caused suspicion from cultists). Then while trying to sneak into the prison (To reunite one of the party members with their mother) one of the cultists became instanlty suspicious of me, tries to stop me with their hand and accidentally gropes my character discovering that despite appearances, they were a woman. Lucky bastard... Initiative is rolled, I get a 4 and go last, while 2 cultists try to grapple me, somehow failing to despite my -1 to strength and for the first time all night, I feel lucky. Thinking quickly, I used my racial Misty Step ability to teleport a short distance away behind a nearby tent, breaking line of sight. Finally having had enough of my poor rolls and having been stubbornly saving them for moments exactly like this, I used my portent to get a 15 on a Stealth check and hide in the tent before casting minor illusion to recreate the wall behind myself to hide (Keeping a backup portent of 5 to force a fail on an investigation check just in case). For the next hour or so that night I hid like the coward my 17 HP wizard was while watching the area around the tent through the eyes of my familiar for a chance to escape. During which my party caused stupid amounts of chaos, that put my blunder to shame, and freed the NPC who then secured an escape route for us. Best. Cantrip. Ever.

Pass without trace is also a great utility spell to get the whole party to get into places they have no business running around in. Enhance ability is also pretty good, because it is just so versatile. Pretty much doesn't matter what non-combat situation you find yourself in, Enhance ability can help.

Some nerfs I've seen to Goodberry: solution for it being too good for survival - consume the material component, so you can't replace it with your focus and your players have to still somewhat carefully distribute their berries. solution for it being too good out of combat healing - not allowing players to heal from more than 1 berry. Because it fills you up for a day, your character won't really be able to muster themselves into eating more than 1 per day. Though the second nerf just so happens to have a very exploitative side-effect that it makes for a perfect spell for... forceful information gathering :)

Goodberry - this was clarified by Jeremy Crawford - the creature must be conscious to "eat" the berry in order to gain the 1 hp benefit. The emphasis in on the action "eat." The creature must be conscious to "eat." Shoving the berry into the mouth of a creature making death saves (unconscious condition) will not work and could possibly cause them to choke (auto-fail on one death save?). I like your Suggestion-Dimension Door combo. I love cooperative combos. Even if the DM rules against the Dimension Door 500' in the air trick, sending an opponent 500' away from you is still a great advantage. Rope Trick - is so named as an homage to an old magic trick (I recall seeing it in a silent movie, but I don't recall the movie - Alibaba and the 40 Thieves?). It had the exact same effect. Personaly, as a DM, I don't see why you couldn't take a long rest in the space. A long rest is minimum of 8 hours, the spell lasts 8 hours...eh, why not? Having said that, though, I would probably just allow a short rest as you suggested with the only change being the PC could roll one hit dice per hour spent on a short rest to restore hit points. Thanks for the video. I really enjoyed it.

Nondetection does NOT prevent spells like See Invisibility or True Seeing from detecting you. It states that Nondetection prevents you from being "targeted" by divination spells. Targeting is specific spell ruling language, if the spell simply has an effect that you happen to be in the area of, that is not being targeted. For example, Fireball does not target you, but Disintegrate does.

Invisibility actually does have great combat use. You get advantage on your attack, and you may get a sneak attack or surprises attack. Also, enemies get disadvantage on attacks against you even if they attack where you are. And you can cast it on multiple people at higher levels. And there's so much else you can do in battle that isn't a spell or attack. Like lock a door, help a downed alli that you've also turned invisible, get into a better position, pour out ball bearings, ready an action or a spell to use right after the enemy has used up their action...

Rope Trick strikes me as being useful for protecting PC’s/NPC’s. Like say the party is freeing an important inmate but need to fight the warden before escaping- Rope Trick safely hides the Inmate for as long as the battle lasts. Or if one of the players is nearly dead and the person with healing powers needs at least one extra round to reach them and help. Rope Trick and possibly the aid of another player will keep the dying ally safe from harm long enough to receive treatment. Since the rope can be hidden it could also be used as a way to conceal the party for an ambush.

The bit about the cost is also a good point; how important that difference in cost is will vary from campaign to campaign. I’d also point out that a potion lasts more than 24 hours. One thing I’d agree about is that Goodberry is clearly overpowered; my suspicion is that it’s kind of intended to be so, but that doesn’t make it a good idea. I think the key is that RAW doesn’t say unconscious people can’t eat or drink, there are no “intubation rules”, and the spell does explicitly say that “eating a berry restores 1 hit point,” regardless of the means by which it was eaten. (It could say “doing this” restores 1 hit point, but it doesn’t; it says “eating a berry.”) It describes one way the berries can be eaten, but doesn’t explicitly forbid other methods of eating them: it doesn’t say that a player “must” use an action to eat a berry, or say that “it takes 1 action to eat a berry,” just that “a player *can* use an action to eat 1 berry.” This, RAW, leaves the allowance of other methods of eating the berry in the DM’s hands, and RAW clearly says that any method of successfully eating a berry, as determined by the DM, restores 1 hit point. It’d be like saying “a pigeon can walk for 20 hours to cross the canyon. Crossing the canyon will put the pigeon in Mexico.” The pigeon could also fly, be carried, or take a train to cross the canyon, and the statement does clearly say that crossing the canyon, regardless of method, will put the pigeon in Mexico. It doesn’t say the pigeon *can* fly to cross the canyon, but it also doesn’t say it can’t. In addition, the berries themselves are not physically described or their exact manifestation known, except to the DM. Maybe their magic in one DM’s game causes them to melt into a restorative, easily-swallowed near-liquid jelly when placed in the mouth, making them effectively a healing potion, but the magic only allows one to ever melt in a mouth at a time. In another DM’s game, they’re large, crunchy nut-like things that have to be actively chewed for 6 seconds. Point being, the DM, not RAW, is what determines any other available methods, beyond a player using its own action, of eating a berry, but RAW does explicitly allow for those other available methods to exist. I don’t know how Adventurer’s League runs this; that’d be interesting to find out.

Need to steal something important? Use rope trick to hide and cast invisibility on the object. When the guards see it is missing they panic and leave to look for it. If anyone stays behind use suggestion to tell them their leader needs help. Grab the object and escape with no witnesses.

I heard "minor illusion is the only cantrip on this list" and immediately tuned out. Prestidigitation is easily the most useful utility cantrip, since utility is *out of combat*. Minor illusion definitely deserves a spot on this list, and a higher one at that, but P-daddy should have been número uno. Also, you can concentrate on already-cast spells while invisible, so you could cast a concentration spell, then go invisible, and continue concentrating on something like sickening radiance without worrying about being targeted.

My best use of rope trick: During a ship chase, we being the chase-ees I cast rope trick with a 6 foot rope. The entire party climbs in. The rope trick is stationary, so our ship sailed out from underneath us, and we waited until the following ship was almost past us, then dropped onto the deck and hid. We then ambushed the pirates on their own ship, while the sailors on our ship turned the ship around and boarded. They helped clean up the last of the pirates, except the pirate captain that had a reward. We then screwed up and sunk the pirate ship without looking for hidden caches, which the DM informed us of through the voice of the pirate. Apparently we lost a TON of loot, and didn't get to sell the ship itself because we just wanted to sink it. Whoops.

I'm not sure you can use Rope Trick for a short rest if you're going by RAW. Short rest requires a full hour of non strenuous activity. Climbing a rope would count as strenuous activity; and it would take at least one round, six seconds, for you to do so, in addition to any time spent moving to the rope. So, strictly RAW, the maximum time you'd be able to have in it would be 59 minutes 54 seconds, which is technically not enough for a short rest. Also, for Leomund's, a smart DM could just have a burrowing enemy attack from underneath, as it specifically states "around and above" and not "under". For example, our party had a Bulette harassing us a couple of sessions ago.

My DM has all but banned Suggestion as functionally it's an 8-hour Charm Monster two levels lower, with the caveats that it uses Concentration and the target has to understand what you're saying. He's allowed the Bard to keep it because he's not very good at the game, but our Sorcerer twinning it solved several combat encounters to the point where the DM has started over-adjusting the numbers of creatures we're pitted against due to expecting at least 1-2 creatures to just leave. Also it's a wall of text that has none of the important stuff where you think it would be. Tiny Hut is outright banned though, getting a fortress spell that arguably is only countered by Dispel Magic, as a ritual with 1 minute cast time, leaves a bad taste in everyone's mouths.

I like the video, but have a few gripes... I don't understand why Thunderwave is on this list. IMO pushing enemies into hazards is combat. As a utility spell it can clear/create a mess quickly and create a loud noise, that's about it... A spell to consider is Locate Object. Like goodberry in a survival game, it can completely trivialize tracking/lost/stolen/hidden questlines. I've seen DMs ban, nerf, and even just refuse to acknowledge its casting. Plus it can simply (pin)point you in the right direction in unfamiliar locales. I get this is just opinions, but surely Wish is at least an honorable mention as far as top 5e utility spells go. My number one, Minor Illusion, is way more useful than just making something to hide behind. It's completely crazy what you can accomplish with a single cantrip at level one. I've saved my life, my parties lives, and entire villages with single castings of it. Uncovered potentially global scale threats, turned enemies into allies, gained access to otherwise inaccessible areas, made easy money, and mercilessly tormented any/everybody just for the lulz with it. It's a cantrip with literally infinite utilitarian usefulness, that can also make a massive difference. And, just because I already kinda feel like a jerk for this comment, I'll throw in that having an animal shove a solid into an unconscious persons throat might not actually be as helpful as so many people seem to think it is. But I get the argument, as long as your version of a goodberry is extremely tiny... and soft... and instantly turns to liquid when touching a tongue... ... ... I mean, not even your cat, you, you try shoving a grape down your wife's throat while she sleeps, best case scenario it's only ATTEMPTED murder... Sorry, just my opinions, I really did enjoy the video tho.

I believe mistletoe has a really small berry(I assume mistletoe since it's the material component), about the size of a blueberry or smaller. You still would choke on it if unskillfully force fed while unconscious, but it's nowhere near a grape. At least you shouldn't asfixiate. But it still probably wouldn't count as eating. And RAW the creature themselves must use an action or bonus action(don't remember which) to eat it.
