Overpowered Spells

So what this video has taught us is that the wizard casts Fireball all the time because if he didn't he'd trivialise every single combat encounter

There are no overpowered spells, only under-powered spells. -The Wizard

DM: All of the creatures have Counter Spell now. The barbarian that picked up the Mage Slayer feat: My day has come.

The bard just mindlessly consenting and then casting silvery barbs was funny af

His arc will NEVER end.

"all the creatures have counterspell now" subtle spell: allow me to introduce myself

You forgot the best bit. When someone is asleep, enemies can automatically crit them within 5 feet, if they get hit. If you use an oversized weapon, you get disadvantage, but you get the double damage dice. This means that your wizard will try their very best to steal and oversized greatclub or greataxe or greatsword, which is common among monsters, sleep his enemy, and attempt to execute it. But it gets worse. Don't ever let a party with a wizard that has sleep and a raven familiar or similar get a portable hole. They can sleep an enemy, but them into the portable hole, fold it up, and have their raven familiar fly it into the sky. The creature inside will eventually begin to suffocate, and can escape with a strength 10 check, which it will usually try to do. If it's 300 feet in the air, it had better know how to fly. Enjoy the OP.

Funnily enough about that gaseous form effect, the spell only gives resistance to non-magical damage, so a party with spellcasters and/or access to magical weapons could still totally kill the now defenseless beholder (and it can't even run away because its movement speed is reduced to 10ft while in gaseous form)

This sort of creative use of spells is exactly how i imagine powerful wizards try to fight each other.

Ok but like the wizard, when forced to use other spells, ultimately chose to game break by synergizing abilities with other party members and being a great team player. Literally holding a spell for an hour so the rest of the party (not him) can short rest. Might still be doing it all with the intent to screw over the dm, but I’d bet the table is a lot more fun regardless now that the problem player is bolstering the party instead of trying to do his own thing

Remember kids, the wizard who only spams fireball is doing you a service

Hello, Warlock of the Dreamscape Patron here. XP to level 3 made a small mistake at 1:10. As an expert user of the sleep spell, it is my duty to announce that you cannot target specific targets with sleep. You instead choose a origin point and it will target all creature within the 20ft radius. It first targets the lowest HP creature, and you don't get to ignore that if it's your ally. All in all, keep putting people to sleep, but do it carefully

wizard has really grown including other party members in his attempts at messing with the DM, the bard using silvery barbs had me on the floor

I like the idea of a wizard who by the law has been forced to not use all the powerful and damaging spells but still finds ways to be evil without them

I had a Bard that didn't really want to fight. He just cast sleep on people and tied them up. Sometimes he then left them hanging upside down from the nearest convenient feature (tree, lamp post, whatever), for law enforcement to pick up.

Love the genuine cleverness and power coming from wizard. He's right with all of these and should be proud

The wizard. He’d be annoying to play with, but fun to watch.

The Wizard is getting better, his plans include other members of the party now! In all seriousness the gaseous* form plan is brilliant. Not only would I allow it the Wizard would also get an inspiration for what it is worth.

The "No no no no wait wait wait" Punisher meme was so well done lmao. Bless your heart.

"SiIllllllvery barbs" killed me lmao
