Yes. Though EB+ hex+familiar+Repelling Blast isn't exactly bad at low levels. Warlock 2 is enough for that. Valor 6 next, getting 1 weapon+2 beams+3d6 hex + 4d8 bardic inspiration damage per short rest. Still at 18 Cha, but 3 attacks should be decent. Then the rest in Sorcerer. Using slots...

Haste + Valor Bard still works for more EB, at range. So 12 beams max (8 on turn 1).

5: sorlock. Quicken Eldritch Blast Possibly combined with a zone or summon. Even after the nerf, and fixing Bladesinger from casting EB, i expect the highest possible DPR is still Conjure Minor Elemental + EB spam. Though i wouldn't count that as ranged attacks.

Are your turning people into cows? Trying to become the queen of all cheese? Or is the milkmaid bringing cows for you to transform?

That's why I multiplied it by 50%. 40% chance to go first. 50% chance it makes a difference. = 20% Feel free to figure out your own %, that's just rough ballpark. It's not going to be doing 2x damage or anything like that.

then battlemaster dice are not helping either. Since that's extra damage over a limited number of rounds.

Your comparing ranged fighter to ranged fighter. That eliminates a lot of variables. But yes, you will need to make assumptions to get anywhere. Can't figure out the chance of having Alert and handing your winning initiative to the wizard a percentage of the time that enemies are in fireball...

not if your ally gets to save resources. If you have 2 enemies with 50hp, you need to deal 100 damage. If you have 1 enemy with 100HP, you need to deal 100 damage. Same damage delt. It does change damage the party took. why wouldn't it?

A still did more damage. I mean, i can go both ways. Even with advantage, Battlemaster will still go first and kill before A gets a turn. Just not as often. last enemy to die. And they focus fire, because teamwork. Average damage delt. At least that was what you where comparing.

I was wrong, you can't augment cantrips. New rating 6/5 (still overpowered). Same strategy, but hit with something like Heat Metal or Phantasmal Force that does ongoing damage. May take more than one cast. Moonbeam can still chase and kill anything with 60' dash speed, but that's a bit more...

Possibilities that you want (A gets an extra turn)/ total possibilities. number of times you roll initiative per day (4?) damage A does in a round. And I would assume each outcome (C dies after A just as often as C dies after B). Ratio would be a little different for a controller who does...

Suggested nerf for Augment. 100' per secondary spell slot level used. Max 1 mile.

I would rather split concentration at that point. If you have enough willing creature within 30', I don't expect 150' or 1000' would make much difference. You have a big enough army. But losing concentration would be disastrous.

Rating Augment 8/5 (broken) In combat: o many spells that "in range you can see" (Sacred Flame), combined with scouting (familiar, Arcane Eye, gaze of 2 minds) and you can kill things way out of range for them to respond. Definitely needs nerfed. Even without seeing "though" walls, this can...

there are a few circles specific spells in the book that really work well for "unleashing hell" by getting a bunch of apprentices.

That's only for reducing component costs. Half the effects just takes an action. The rest take a slot (any level).

I could be wrong, but don't think magic initiate works. You need actual slots. Also, it takes multiple actions and multiple concentrations to do, and often multiple slots. Most combats are better off with 2 lighting bolts than 1 wide one. You lose focus fire. Now, i do see this used for...

I quite like that idea, with the monsters trying to disrupt the caster and allies trying to protect the wizard. But i feel like that would require a new edition with that philosophy more up front.

Assuming a 3 part creature (or 3 parts left alive) Your suggestion: Cast Banish at level 4 (1 target), needs 3 failed saves. My suggestion: Cast Banish at level 6 (3 targets), needs 3 failed saves. Not sure which is more balanced.

some of each. I guess. "Roll an Int check". "It's big enough to attack just it's leg" just to be clear, I'm not suggesting that only part of it teleports. You need to teleport/banish/push all parts together, or it doesn't go. When your the size of 5 creatures, you need power to banish 5...
