[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 7970151, member: 6987520"] Well, YMMV, I am not about to go over every single monster and set-up to prove a point. I showed you with the goblin example that even with disadvantage, most casters come out even or ahead not using TS. As far as resistance goes, that is why a lot of casters have two attack cantrips IME when they are combat-focused. Rarely will a creature have resistance to both types. Creatures with cover can often be moved around to avoid it IME. Again, YMMV but a lot just depends on the encounter set-up. Also, PCs can use cover, readying actions, etc. and casters who are combat-oriented tend to take Spellsniper so cover isn't a factor then. My point is you seem to be reaching for ways to make TS meaningful in situations where other actions are just as viable if not more so. I am sure you can probably come up with ones, but for the limited cantrips my characters get, I am more inclined to take other cantrips myself. I figure it is like most situational spells: you miss it when you don't have it, but most of the time you simple aren't going to. Again, YMMV. :) [/QUOTE]
