STOP TRACKING 20 SEPARATE HP BARS

DMs, there's a better way to run those massive battles. 🎲 Instead of tracking 20 individual goblins, zombie skeletons, or cultists, run them as a single horde stat block. One turn, one pool of hit points that thins out over time, and damage that scales with how many players are caught inside it. Fireball still hurts, but it doesn't end the fight instantly, and your marshals get to feel like heroes carving through a battlefield instead of cleaning up minions one swing at a time. How do you handle large groups of enemies at your table? πŸ‘‡

AURA OF VITALITY, Best 3rd Level Cleric Spells

Don't sleep on Aura of Vitality for out of combat healing. πŸ’š One minute, 2d6 healing as a bonus action every round, that's an average of 70 hit points of healing to distribute across your party between fights. No short rest needed, no long rest needed, just a third level spell slot and suddenly everyone's back to full before the next encounter. This spell single handedly covers your party's healing needs between combats. Do you use Aura of Vitality? πŸ‘‡

SHAPECHANGE
Underrated Wizard Spells

True Polymorph gets all the attention, but Shapechange does something it can't. πŸ‰ When you cast it, you get the full temporary hit points of whatever you transform into first, so turn into a Dragon Turtle for 350 temporary hit points, then immediately shift into something with a better stat block, and you keep those hit points. Oh, and you retain your own spellcasting the whole time. What would you turn into first? πŸ‘‡

πŸ«‚HOLD PERSON and ENHANCE ABILITY
2nd Level Cleric Spells

Two second level cleric spells that punch way above their weight. 🎲 Hold Person is save or the combat's basically over, land it and that creature is out of the fight, and it upcasts to hit multiple targets. Enhance Ability gives blanket advantage on ability checks, and when you start stacking it with Guidance and Bardic Inspiration your party is basically untouchable on skill checks. Which do you reach for more? πŸ‘‡

WITCH BOLT⚑

Underrated Wizard Spells

Witch Bolt got a serious glow up in 5.5e and people are still sleeping on it. ⚑ 2d12 damage on the initial hit, then a free d12 every turn as a bonus action, no attack roll required after the first. Compare that to Hex or Hunter's Mark and you might be surprised how well it holds up, especially when you just need consistent single target damage and want your action free for something else. Would you run Witch Bolt? πŸ‘‡
