[QUOTE="Jfdlsjfd, post: 8176385, member: 42856"] Yes, but casting it BEFORE he took any damage, on round 1, was silly, since casting Bastion of Law explicitely removes any remaining former ward. You'd be better off casting it [I]once it is expanded.[/I] During combat, when actions are at a premium. Hence you're confirming you intent to cast Bastion right at the beginning of the fight? Since you're rolling 9 dice for fireball and as much for upcast scorching rays, it's safe to consider you'll have 3 of them being 3 or less. The probability of rolling 9 dice and having 4 or more only is 0,19%. In 99,2% of the case you'll be using Empower. Of course I don't want to remove your agency, so please state when you'll be using Empower. You'll be better off saying you're rerolling systematically. It's only if you were to Empower your cantrip that it would be statistically significant to save a SP in the 25% case where your 2 dice of damage are both above average. The previous match had regular build. Since you added several spells of dubious origin (Eldritch Blast? Armor of Agathys?), the rules of having to have the spell on one's spell list seemed lifted, so I made this build to take that into account. BTW, if getting creature through SWB a DM fiat, how do you propose we replace the spell? And how do you propose we replace Divine Intervention, which is 2 class abilities of the Cleric (getting it and having it work flawlessly once a week at level 20)... Should we remove the level Sorc ability as well? With regards to Polymorph, only the Statistics are replaced. So yes it is +4 CON (since it's the T-REX stat), but it says nothing about losing feat. The fact that the description of the spell states that it can't cast spells in this form implies that the polymorphed creature kept its spell slots and it wasn't covered under statistics. I know that Jeremy Crawford explicited that they wanted to cover all game information "you play with the stat block, set the character sheet aside", but you're still pretending you can get Simulacrum to regain SP so Crawford's interpretation are out. Make your mind, you can't have your cake and eat it. Which takes a bonus action for each low level spell slot you convert. Have you ever played a Sorcerer? It would take two rounds to get back 4 SP by sacrificing 2 2nd-level slots (a possibility you didn't describe in your strategy. so far, by the way...) Since we started at 150 ft by your specification, it takes only 30 ft of move, a regular move without Dashing, to be at 120 ft. Really? Where from? Clockwork Soul gets Alarm and Protection from Evil and Good according to Tasha...
