There are a lot of subclasses in Dungeons and Dragons 5e that can learn many spells outside of their current spell lists. Typically, these bonus spells are only there to add extra flavor to your class; however, there are some spells that can work extremely well with their given subclass. So, in this video, we will be going over some of the bonus spells that can combo well with certain class or subclass features which you might not be able to pull off as another class. And for the purposes of this list, only spells that don't normally appear in a given subclass' spell list will be included. For example, spells like Cure Wounds for Life Clerics would not qualify, since it's already a spell included in the Cleric spell list by default.

Currently playing Curse of Strahd with a tempest cleric. I can say taking out hoards of high level undead with Destructive Wave is the most fun I’ve had playing the game. Super effective spell for this subclass. I agree.

@milesweckerle Год назад

I'd say Spike Growth Dao Genie Warlock should've been up there because of repelling blast / grasp of hadar being so effective at rolling an infinite amount of d4s.

@ImpaleTheLiving Год назад

I was getting ready to post pretty much exactly this if I didn't see somebody else do it already.

@raffelon9508 Месяц назад

it should even take the top spot if there weren't flying and ranged enemies, but even with, the high damage and control option is great and can definitely compete with the Tempest or Twilight cleric combo (not Twilight Cleric in general, as that one's broken) and it also has great potential to work even better with other party members joining in, any warlock with some eldritch blast invocations, Gravitoourgy Wizards or Swarmkeeper Rangers can push around creatures for no resource cost, mele characters might still use the shove action at worst (go buy a bow) and any spellcaster using actual resources can layer even more effects on top, just having the damage + control of spike growth on top of the arguably best sustained control class (eldritch blast invocations) is extremely strong, but genie patron also gives flight, so you can even ignore your own hazard and with Crusher feat, that extra bludgeon damage causes even more forced movement, another thing that everyone could layer on top for forced movement would be telekinetik, but that full combo of 10-40 repelling blast + 10 grasp of hadar + 5 Crusher + 5 Telekinetic = 30-60 feet of forced movement is only possible with Dao Genie Patron Warlock, Tough 3 levels in Swarmkeeper Ranger can add 15 feet and 5 levels in Gravitourgy Wizard 5 feet, less sustainably Metamagig Quickened Spell from Sorcerer or the feat or Action Surge from Fighter can add the 10-40 from Repelling Blast again, as well as any reaction War Caster shenenigan would, but that one would also add the +10 from grasp of hadar (tough while crusher is once per turn, Dao bludgeoning is only once on your turn)

@tcorninptown Год назад

Armorer Artificers also get mirror image at lvl 5. That plus the ability to wear heavy armor without having to be a dwarf makes some really fun combos possible.

@RenoKyrie Год назад

Honorable mention to all the healing spells Wildfire Druid have because unlike most Druids they rarely use Wildshape except utilitt purposes

@aetherwolf9288 Год назад

What have the one thing to do with the other? I imagine playing a wildfire druid by having the wildfire always out and this isn’t just utility. It is actually kinda a second character from where you can cast all your spells from (kinda like the echoknights echo). And druids are already the best healing class because of good berries/life berries. Can you please explain your thought? Have a nice day AEther

@Owtch Год назад

Love that you start with the Alchemist as I feel its an unfairly hated subclass that ive played to great enjoyment and this right here that you noted came in handy pretty much constantly.

@KnicKnac Год назад

I've used it as a NPC class as a local doctor type. I actually like the flavor of being an arcane doctor of sorts.

@aetherwolf9288 Год назад

No subclass is bad from a story telling standpoint. But mechanically Artificer as a hole aren’t that great (except of course in very low magic settings which no one runs but definitely should) and in compression Alchemist are worse than the other subclasses the Artificer provides. Trentmonktemple explains it better in his series to rank every class + subclass than I do right now. Have a nice day AEther

@Owtch Год назад

@@aetherwolf9288 To each his own I suppose but I tend to disagree with Treantmonk and powergamers pretty intensely on the subject on classes and most of it ends up just being combat efficiency and very little else from what ive noticed.

@aetherwolf9288 Год назад

@@Owtch I think you misunderstood me. I just refer to trentmonktemple because from just the RAW perspective he is right. The other two pillars of DnD can be covered by choices outside of character creation (love potion for RP and a helm of teleportation for exploration). So it is the best to build for combat in most campaigns. I don’t follow this mentality 100% as I like to tell a story through my chars but also like to be useful in the most common scenarios presented by the DM. But you’re totally right. Each enjoys DnD in a different way. Have a nice day AEther

@destendgem Год назад

As someone who plans to go Crown Paladin, Spirit Guardian sounds fantastic. Especially with the Charger Feat.

@ravenstales6457 Год назад

I wanna see you do a ranking of the Warlock subclasses personally, and as half fathomless warlock, I think that access to create or destroy water and shape water makes for amazing utility on a class, and the spell upcasts very nicely

@ptdevil2563 Год назад

I feel like you really should have mentioned Mage Hand for the Arcane Trickster Rogue. Mage Hand Legerdemain offers so much more utility with being able to pick locks or similar tasks from a distance. Plus, with just two levels in Artificer for the Replicate Magic Item: Bag of Holding infusion, you can basically one-shot any enemy at level 5, up to and including the tarrasque

@sofer2230 Год назад

On the subject of Arcane Tricksters: Booming Blade is just full-on extra damage for rogues to use over their regular attack action; it's incredible.

@MultiDildor Год назад

Always keep in mind that you can't use mage hand to "activate magical items" per rules as written. I would argue that it still works with bag of holding since you aren't specially activating it, just using it. Also, the feat telekinetic has good synergy with this build.

@ptdevil2563 Год назад

@@MultiDildor I would argue that it does work RAW, since Mage Hand Legerdemain specifically says that you can stow an item in a container. As long as the first bag is already open, there shouldn't be a problem. And yes, Telekinetic is a fantastic feat for this subclass

@aetherwolf9288 Год назад

The Arcane Rouge is a halfcaster without any branches it can take other than being limited to the wizard list (and some schools. But they still get access to some other spells)

@ptdevil2563 Год назад

@@aetherwolf9288 Technically they're third-casters, but in either case, I'd say they still count for this since A:) as you pointed out, no other Rogue subclass gets access to the spell, and B:) Mage Hand is a required spell for Arcane Tricksters

@chipan9191 25 дней назад

A wizard can get the rune shaper feat which gives them access to armor of agathys. As an Abjuration wizard, you have arcane ward which can stack with the temp hp. Say you're at level 10 with +4 int mod, that's 24 hp on the ward. AoA can be upcasted at level 4 which would give you 20 additional temp hp and cause 20 frost damage on a melee hit against you. So 44 hp you have before you take damage on your natural hp and 20 damage for every melee attack that hits you while you still have the temp hp. And arcane ward takes damage before temp hp.

@kennethcunningham8461 Год назад

I love casting touch spells via familiar

@elinamauno8833 10 месяцев назад

For me the answer is Misty Step, but in my point of view for a Vengeance or Ancients Paladin. I played Curse of Strahd as a Paladin that started as Vengeance and ended up being Ancients later on. Half-Wood Elf with the 35ft Walking Speed, plus Misty Step was insanely useful in increasing my Paladins mobility. Still one of my favorite moments in DnD ever was when my party was fighting Strahd as the destined final battle in the castle. My DM had Strahd essentially trying to run far enough away from my Paladin and our Samurai Fighter. I had said in the previous round that I used my last 2nd level spell slot. Strahd was 65ft away when it came to my turn, we were out of almost everything. But I had saved a 3rd level spell slot for an emergency Revivify. I started my turn by saying ”I’m using my last 3rd level spell slot to-” and my DM going ”damnit you’re gonna Misty Step aren’t you” with horrified realisation. I cast Misty Step to get in his face. We played Paladin in the way that I couldn’t cast a BA spell and Smite on the same turn. Didn’t matter, I brought him down too far for him to make it out alive, and it was awesome.

I would love to see you do a breakdown of the Dungeons & Dragons Honor Among Thieves trailer.

@Jake-ut4vo Год назад

Id give honorable mention to Ambition cleric getting Mirror Image. As it is, you get a perfect duplicate that you can cast spells from, then adding the 4 illusions non-concentration on top of any other spells you wanna add can make you insanely hard to hit just from there being so many of you on the field at once

@agata6337 Год назад

the editing had some sloppy effects, very uncommon considering how great your content is... aside from that another great vid hiru 💕

@Akuyosen Год назад

Huh, opportunistic search at your channel as this was posted

@randallgpreston Год назад

One fun combo that wouldn't make your list, since the spell is granted by race and not subclass, is Armor of Agathys from mark of warding dwarf and abjuration wizard. Armor of Agathys is a warlock spell and is also available on some race options. Mark of Warding dwarves turn their racial spells into class spells, meaning you can use your normal spell slots to cast the spell. Abjuration wizards generate a protective shield whenever they cast an abjuration spell, which armor of agathys is. When you are hit by an attack your protective shield takes damage first, leaving your temp hit points intact, but since you technically took damage, the attacker still takes the damage from armor of agathys. Later on, armor of agathys can become a signature spell, giving you unlimited casting of the spell up to a certain level.

@fulanodominicano Год назад

I feel like the misspelling of "Their" is intentional. It happens so often I can't stop noticing it.

@blitzkrieg2928 Год назад

the blur one is cool

@ACP13. Год назад

Absolutely criminal to not include Fireball for Fiend/Efreeti Warlocks. Being able to cast 6 Fireballs/day at level 5 is obscenely powerful.

@milesweckerle Год назад

It would only be 2 Fireballs/day, I think you're looking at 'spells known' instead of 'spell slots,' but still somewhat powerful.

@ACP13. Год назад

@@milesweckerle Warlocks regain their spell slots on a Short Rest. 2 Short Rests in an Adventuring Day is a reasonable amount of those, thus, 6 fireballs

@milesweckerle Год назад

@@ACP13. Gotcha. Our table barely uses short rests (Which is unfortunate) so I didn't make the correlation. I'd say more like an average of one short rest a day on average but it's all subjective.

the only things I miss from 4th edition is the power cards. they were really neat.

Do they have a video about the bards magical secrets ability

@shaclown7721 Год назад

The fact you need 14th level as a hexblade to finally br able to move your curse around, is such a massive shame.. it's always hard to choose whether or not to use the feature in the first place, since you might need it much more at a later combat..

@aetherwolf9288 Год назад

Good rule of thumb when to use it: 1. Have you already a buff (like bless) If yes don’t use it except it is the last combat of the day 2. Have you any experience fighting the monster presented? If no use it just in case. It might save your char. If yes did you have trouble fighting it? If yes back to square one. If no don’t use it. 3. Does the curse provide anything else to the combat? If yes use it. Finally there is the question to when and who. You use it optimally in the first round of combat proverbially on the leader of the group. If your Dm plays with the moral attribute presented in the DMG it is the fastest way to end a combat as the minions might flee. If this isn’t what you are going for wait with the use (or the actual kill) until your party safeguards any escape squares for the enemy. Hope I could help Have a nice day AEther

@shaclown7721 Год назад

@@aetherwolf9288 i've been playing a hexblade for a couple of months now, so i got the hang of choosing when to use it. The thing i meant, was that the feature you actually want for the subclass, only comes online at 14th level. That's where most campaigns never even get.

@PyrotechNick77 Год назад

Wall of Fire in the celestial warlock list is deffo destructive with their radiant soul ability and their searing vengeance

@deru72 Год назад

Clockwork Sorcerer also has access to Wall of force, lesser and greater restoration, aid and armor of agathys that are all amazing and better than summon construct

@aetherwolf9288 Год назад

I agree 100%. But first at all, all of the spells don’t play any differently from the way you would use them normally and while powerful a sorcerer on its own get some powerful spells and the only new aspect added via those spells are aid as a incombat healing and the restoration spells. This is my guess why he didn’t present them in his top 10 Have a nice day AEther
