[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8703462, member: 18"] Right? It's like, oh look it's yet another pale elf from another plane with misty step. Oh they renamed misty step I guess that's TOTALLY DIFFERENT. WotC really living that 1990s "Check out my elves, they're TOTALLY DIFFERENT to your elves!" life. Also trying to sell me Sacred Flame as a good cantrip, not a cantrip that is, 90% of the time, a waste of a perfectly good Action, is pretty silly stuff. It even points out that it targets Dex saves, which means, when the chips are down, it lands less often than attacking the AC of a lot of creatures. Very few creatures indeed have bad Dex saves, and I bet particularly few of those are found in Spelljammer. I mean, WotC, can you stop giving people combat cantrips and pretending they're anything but a good way to waste Actions? Give them utility cantrips. People would murder a man for Prestidigitation for goodness sake. That's a roleplaying cantrip, but most players are going to get more use out of it than Sacred Flame. Also I'm assuming "stellar cantrip" is a pun, because otherwise poor old Mike needs to be carted off to the D&D loony bin. All that said, I don't hate them. They're just completely unnecessary and WotC's working too hard to pretend their dodgy abilities are actually good. It's okay WotC, most races have terrible abilities in 5E. [/QUOTE]
