    A work around for the DM throwing fire resistant baddies at ya is taking the Elemental Adept feat. “Spells you cast ignore resistance to damage of the chosen type. In addition, when you roll damage for a spell you cast that deals damage of that type, you can treat any 1 on a damage die as a 2.”

    Never forget the power of [HEAT METAL] if used right, you can debilitate your target and sustain massive amounts of fire damage over time. Some fully decked out lawful evil Oath of Conquest Paladin preparing to invade a sacred grove? Not anymore, now they have much more pressing problems.

  • @shadowldrago
    @shadowldrago 3 місяці тому +6

    Archdruid is insane. You have basically permanent Subtle Spell, you can stay in Wild Shape, which you have unlimited charges of, and you can cast while in Wild Shape. Meanwhile, Sorcerers can, regain 4 Sorcery Points on a short rest and Monks regain 4 ki if they roll initiative without having any. That's, underwhelming.

    Our dm is wild with what he gives us (he also throws some crazy stuff AT us so it balances out) and when he let our Druid change his subclass to wildfire, he let the Druids pet owl bear (don’t ask cause I have a pet miniature wyvern) be his wildfire spirit so now we have a flaming siege weapon.

    I’m actually trying the Drakewarden Wildfire Druid multiclassed thing. Flavored it as a ranger that made pacts with two fire spirits. It’s fun and having a teleport to move the tank out of a bad spot is pretty fun. I’ve tried this build with Star Druid which leaned more into my WIS stat using the archer form so we’ll see if this is just as good

    While yes, fire is the most resisted damage type in game. There is a feat for that. Forget the name, but it allows you to treat a single damage type resistance as normal and immunity as resistance. But only for one damage element type. Pick this up for fire and boom, nothing will escape the cleansing flame.
