#DND 5E WIZARD SPELLS FULL#

One party has a cleric who prepares it, then any days they have the spell slots remaining, will cast glyph of warding as a spell glyph to cast aid, death ward or guardian of faith for the next morning. Possibly more a thing for Clerics, but glyph of warding is one of the best spells in the game. Creatures have to run away, and can only make a save against the effect if they can't see you. I'd put fear up with something like hypnotic pattern in terms of removing creatures from the fight, too. Gets a save if it takes damage, but no additional saves otherwise). The target loses the ability to distinguish friend from foe and must choose targets randomly from those it can see and affect. (If anyone hasn't seen it - single target, Int save. Have you looked at enemies abound? It's extremely good at sowing chaos in enemy ranks. So I'm curious, what spells would you recommend I take at 5th level, and then at 6th level? And of course it's possible there are other good options I'm overlooking. Water Breathing - Niche, but insanely useful (bordering on essential) when that niche appliesĪnimate Dead - Mechanically seems very good, but fiddly, uses up table time, and can lead to negative social consequences.īy my count, that's at least 11 decent candidates to choose from, and I can only take 4. OTOH, one of those spells that DMs tend to like to punish if overused/abused. Guaranteed safe long rests, and can be used defensively since arrows can be fired out of the hut but no attack can enter it. Tiny Hut - I'm a huge fan of rituals, and Tiny Hut seems like one of the best in the game.

Sending - Basically erases distance as a factor in communication, which seems like it can fundamentally erase some challenges/obstacles from the game and offer a massive quality of life buff Major Image - One of those spells with nearly unlimited uses, but like a lot of illusions is a bit reliant on the DM playing along I've gotten a lot of mileage out of Sleep in the early levels, and this seems to serve a similar function against enemies who may be too beefy to be good targets for Sleep Hypnotic Pattern - AOE crowd control tends to be pretty good, and portent makes it likely some targets will fail their saves. On the other hand, it uses concentration, and if I fail the concentration check while flying the falling damage could potentially kill me outright. Which seems less useful for combat (though still good for dealing with stuff like summons), but potentially more useful for explorationĬlairvoyance - Good intel gathering tool, and since its divination can be used to recharge spell slots starting at level 6įly - Another iconic spell, great for bypassing some exploration challenges and can effectively make me immune to enemies who lack range or flight.

I'm not an evoker, but in a pinch could use portent to force save failures to ensure full damage, or help an ally make their save if caught in the blast.Ĭounterspell - I don't really use my reactions for much besides occasional shield spells, and counterspell seems incredibly good when fighting enemies that can cast spellsĭispel Magic - Counterspell but for spells that have already been cast. Given this, what 3rd level spells would you recommend I learn at 5th and 6th level? The ones I'm currently considering are:įireball - Blowing up stuff is fun, and my understanding is that the 5e Devs intentionally made fireball slightly overpowered so that the iconic spell would also be pretty optimal. At some point I'm planning on taking feats to bolster my ability to pass concentration checks (war caster, lucky and/or resilient) but haven't done so yet. Haste) would perhaps be less valuable to me. I'm also playing in a group that is heavy on casters with only a rogue as our main melee damage dealer, so spells that synergize really well with fighter types (e.g. I'm a Diviner, so Portent gives me an occasional edge on spells that force saves or checks or that rely on attack roles, and at 6th level Divination spells will become a potentially useful means of recharging spell slots (I did take Mind Spike as one of my second level spells though, so in a pinch I could cast that at higher slots if the recharge seems that important, though upcasted Mind Spike seems pretty weak in its own right most of the time).

In other words, its likely I may only learn four 3rd level spells for most or all of the campaign (2 at 5th and 2 at 6th, unless I opt to pick up an additional one or two at the significant cost of learning higher level spells at level ups past level 6). My DM has indicated he plans to be very sparing with the amount of spellbooks I can expect to encounter in play, so I need to be quite careful about my spell choices upon each level gained. I'm about to hit 5th level in one of my quarantine campaigns, playing a human Wizard.
