My favorite use of Magic Missile upon learning that it just always hits is going fishing with it
Sure if you can see the fish
@@SirStanleytheStumbler it's not hard to see fish on a Fantasy Scenario since most lakes wont be pitch black or brown, I guess...
I'm definitely using that for my campaign made up entirely of city born PCs.
🤣 my man, that's sorta what Russia did decades ago. Dropped batteries in the river and over fished the population.
DM. How do you spend your downtime.
PC. I'm going fishing.
DM. Ok give me a survival.
Player. Actually I wanna use magic missile.
DM. Oh.... How many times do you cast?
Player, well I have 9 spell slots.
DM. Yes
Or eldritch blast with the one that brings them toward you would be good
I'd like to point out that the first spell Reality break isn't wasted if the target succed the initial saving throw, the wording specify that if they fail they lose their reaction, but not that the spell is wasted, so they will still roll on the table on a successful save
Id argue that the spell states affected creatures and technically the creature will not have been affected if they succeed.
@@baileys.milchick4442 well that's another play on word and any DM is free to use wtv ruling they see fit 🙂
I agree with op because it states that you make 2 saving throws the first one for reactions and the 2nd to completely end the spell
I'd also argue that if you have to make a save on a spell you are affected by it or you wouldn't have to make a save like being immune to fire damage and a fire spell hitting you.
@@chillandgrilltillenddays69 I'd say that going on what Alexandre said it's up to dm because it can kinda be read either way.
Order of Scribes Wizard: yeah, but what about forceball?
Magic Missile's ability to force multiple con checks with one cast is very nice.
I've been in games that rule it both ways. The argument seems to hinge on whether the magic missiles striking at the same time counts as a single source of damage or since they are separate missiles they each count as a distinct source of damage.
IMO multiple concentration checks is too OP and I personally would rule it only causes one concentration check.
Too bad that only works if you target multiple concentrating enemies. Otherwise, it is only one hit no matter how many darts a target takes.
@@jamiedorsey4167 From what I've seen and heard, each dart is suppose to be one hit. And magic missiles needs that to not be outclassed quickly.
@@azuredragoon2054 Sounds like your DM is nerfing the spell.
@@Meanlucario Nope. Magic Missile is specifically written with the following line: "All darts hit simultaneously." That means 1 hit per target, regardless of how many darts are sent to a specific target.
Can you please do magical blugeoning damage. So many people underestimate those spells.
Scribe wizard can make everything do magical bludgeoning lol
I just wanted to point out that Steel Wind Strike has an excellent combo with Greater Invisibility, 5x advantage and a teleport effect so you can’t be tracked wherever you land which can also be next to an already dead enemy
You can be tracked. Search action can still detect invisible foes. You still make sound, smell, and generate heat or vibrations if touching a surface.
@@pathwaystoadventure that consumes an enemy action though, so it's still advantage generated
This is how I use it, decent number of crits result.
Tack on eleven accuracy and its a real doozey for say a bladesinger
I swear, everybody forgets Magic Missile's most important function: attacking the darkness.
🔝🔝🔝
while not technically a spell eldritch smite costs a spell slot and does quite a bit of force damage and knocks any creature that is huge or smaller prone.
Hiru, You should make a video about ( How can you use True Polymorph to become a legend with immensely powerful loyal army/magic casters and intelligent creatures that will make your kingdom the greatest ever. That is an amazing idea for a video
I've used Tenser's Transformation on a Swords Bard. It's quite amazing to just go apeshit on a single enemy.
Honorable mention for Blade of Disaster. Two melee spell attacks for 4d12 (up to 60 ft away), with a crit range of 18-20. Does 12d12 on a crit. Move the Blade 30 ft with your bonus action.
Too bad it's a 9th level spell!
Could you please do: Top Ten Spells for Limited Wish?
So many options to choose from!
🔝🔝🔝
My sorcerer friend used magic missile at 2nd level to hit all the illusions someone made of Mirror Image
How about Top 10 Radiant Damage Spells for a future video?

eldritch chad nr 1 i predict it
can you guys do a top 10 best damage types to resist
They have top 10 damage type and explain how common the damage is and how common it's resisted so maybe that can help you alittle
Probably magical weapon damage types, radiant, fire, necrotic, acid, and poison
Im always surprised about the number of people who say biGby's hand as biXby's hand. Just one of them things.
Would evocation wizards 14th level ability do anything to the 8th place spell, the melee combat one
Maybe? The maximum damage is nice, but I think you still need to hit the attack to deal the full 60dmg to the target. For the wording I am not sure whether Overchannel would apply to all or just one target.
You can try it, but I think a typical fireball would be a better option as you also damage the people that succeed the saving throw.

I will forever be upset that Steel Wind Strike is a Spell Attack Roll just so they can put it on the Wizard (Bladesinger) spell list without making them need to actually invest in other ability scores. It's already arguably-worse Destructive Wave (6d10 force on a hit for 5 targets VS 10d6 thunder + radiant/necrotic on an AoE save-for-half and prone), and for the same slot it's basically a 30ft-radius Fireball with a different damage type centered on yourself. Wizards would only want it for flavor at most.
I once made rather evil combo with Spiritual Weapon, playing fallen aasimar death cleric.
As an action, I could activate Necrotic Shroud, then caste SW with bonus action. If I hit with the attack roll, I could use Touch of Death (since SW is a melee attack spell, despite its range) and Necrotic Shroud, dealing 5+3xlevel necrotic dmg on top of the force dmg.
What about Blade of Disaster aka Spiritual Weapon's cooler brother
I was going to mention this spell. A very high level spell, but amazing.
what about blade of disaster?

Where Banishing Smite at? Hold concentration Zephyr Strike and disengage for free. Tenser's Transformation is a goof spell. You can't cast while wearing armor your not already proficient with then it takes 5 minutes to don medium armor. 10 for heavy.
If you are playing a single class Bard in 5e, thunderwave is a good choice for a 1st level spell in a typical D&D combat adventure game. It gives your character a spell that will work against most monsters that are not effected by charm/enchantment spells.
I'm trying to understand why that matters on a list about force damage. When thunderwave does THUNDER damage. It's even in the name.
Random third party made third party content is balanced to sell. Thus why they perform so well. I really dont like seeing it in lists like this. Despite it being a popular group making it. It is setting specific and designed by a third party with the sole intent to sell. No unearthed arcana etc.
Hey slight comment here. Tensers Transformation sucks. It's a bad pick for every kind of wizard. The dexterity playstyle of a bladesinger makes elven accuracy, invisibility, and steel wind strike phenomenal. A contingency with greater invisibility and steel wind strike is def the way to go
I feel it’s made for multiclassed builds and bladesingers
@@nicmalugin9287 it sucks for bladesingers too. You're losing the ability to cast spells for temp hp and a damage bonus that isn't worth it. Just use shadowblade. Spells are easily way stronger then putting yourself in a dangerous situation. Multiclassing is also reducing the slot levels you have access to so it's even worse for them as they are statistically going to be using a much more expensive spell slot for like no returns
I’d like to point out that Thorn Whip could potentially deal an extra 1d6 Force damage if you use it while directly above your target, in theory. It’s not the most useful thing in the world by any means, but it is funny.
Sadly falling damage is usually bludgeoning damage, not force damage.
1st babyyyy

Im sorry but eldritch blast is just better than magic missile
What are your thoughts on Banishing Smite?!?! Dealing 5d10 force isn't THAT bad, is it?!?!
As a paladin you have to wait until 17th level to get the spell, so thats why it is bad.
I mean disintegrate does x2 that +40 and banishment can do the other thing
@@dank_bandit5214 not entirely true. Any bard can get it
@@milltary64vs5 That's why I said as a Paladin?
