[QUOTE="Timothy Park, post: 7027548, member: 6827973"] I would give some consideration to including Hunger of Hadar in the list of spells from other classes to consider. While it is somewhat dependant on how the DM manages the effect and the immediate damage is not high, it kind of starts with Darkness, add difficult terrain, add damage. As battlefield control it's pretty potent either blocking terrain and line of sight, or slowing if not trapping a group of enemies. In a way it's similar to spike growth. If the DM rules that NPCs get lost in it, it's a slow fireball. If fireball is your other pick or some other area of effect damaging spell it's shooting fish in a barrel with a shotgun. If the bard has two levels of Warlock allowing Devil's Sight and Agonizing Blast, or there's a Warlock in the party with same, those caught in it are in for a very bad time. I believe those in it who fail saves are restrained as well so there can be advantage if one can attack blind or see in. I've experimented in play with such and if the fight gets tough the others look at my bard and start chanting "Tentacles! Tentacles!" [/QUOTE]
