They tried something like that in the DNDnext playtest, but I don't believe it was very popular.

Put them in a tesseract: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?78915-Piratecat-s-dungeon-design-fun-with-tesseracts!

I would be interested in this as well, even if it only handles basic combat.

The note about DM choosing the exact creature for a conjure could be a hit to the utility of those spells. When my party is trapped in a tree trying to escape the goblin raiding party below, 8 giant lizards won't be near as helpful as 8 giant owls.

An addendum to Giant Owls: Have them carry your friends instead of enemies and you've got an hours worth of flight for the entire party. Regarding managing 8+ beasts in combat, has anyone come up with rules to convert beasts into a swarm? It's not quite as versatile as rolling each one...

I would say a druid is your best bet. The ability to choose from any of your spells on a daily basis means you can go heavy on heals, utility or damage depending on the style of the player or what is needed. If it is a moon druid, they also have the opportunity to melee, scout, etc.

Is this necessarily true? The rule in PHB states: Nothing in there about choosing not to move, or is that somewhere else?

That's an incorrect interpretation of the rules, actually. He forgot to take into account the wording for multiclassing. "You determine what spells you know and can prepare for each class individually, as if you were a single-classed member of that class."

In AD&D's "Dragonlance Adventures" (1987) it listed the schools of the different orders as follows: white robe: abjuration, charm, conjuration, divination, enchantment, evocation red robe: alteration, conjuration, divination, illusion, invocation, phantasm, summoning black robe: charm...

I don't think that the strand of web from a Tiny, CR0 , Str 2 spider would be strong enough to climb on. However, the web of a Giant Spider is a completely different story.

Overall I like the new spell options but I was a bit annoyed at this: C'mon wizards, if you want it limited, then specify the limits. :confused:

The type of attack is listed in the description of the creature in question. You'll see for most beasts it is listed as a "melee weapon attack". An unarmed strike is also a "melee weapon attack".

As far as I know, all beast attacks are melee weapon attacks, not unarmed. However, I would allow the unarmored defense: either normal AC or wis + dex, whichever is higher.

My impression has been that the damage of cantrips (outside of warlocks) is not that impressive. Before level 5, many wizards can do better damage with a light crossbow. If it is just an issue of theme, then we can agree to disagree. I enjoy having a caster who has something to cast every round...

I was surprised at the prevalence of half-elves. Is it just for RP purposes or do they have more of a mechanical advantage than I realized?

It is +1 AC and saving throws in Lost Mine of Phandelver as well as the DM Basic Rules PDF.

Sylph, Pech, Firebat and Aerial Servant aren't in the 5e MM. Efreeti/Djinni/Dao/Marid are elementals, but CR11 (highest you can get with Conjure Elemental is 9). I did miss Xorn, added it to my list above, thanks!

Monsters of type Elemental that should be summonable by the "Conjure Elemental" spell. (let me know if I missed any) 1/4 Mephit, Mud 1/4 Mephit, Smoke 1/4 Mephit, Steam 1/2 Magmin 1/2 Mephit, Dust 1/2 Mephit, Ice 1/2 Mephit, Magma 1 Salamander, Fire Snake 2 Azer 2...

I don't think it works that way. You could get 2 thrown daggers at 5th level. Martial Arts gives you an unarmed strike as a bonus action when you attack with an unarmed strike or your monk weapon. Flurry of Blows gives you two unarmed strikes as a bonus action after you take the attack action...
