[QUOTE="Joshua Randall, post: 9559469, member: 7737"] [B]Commentary[/B]: There is only the illusion of choice here because: [LIST] [*]Exterminate only works on small or weak creatures, not human(oids); we’d know this if we had learned that cantrip. [*]Burning Hands and Sleep can never be learned in the same playthrough at the same time. [/LIST] Thus we are lucky to have the one and only spell that does anything here. Even though you could make arguments for others…. [LIST] [*]Tweak or Cough to cause the intruder to attract attention from others. [*]Friends to do just what it says then ask the intruder “yo, bruh, whatcha doing?” [*]Unseen Servant to hold a rake at ankle height, close the door after the intruder opens it, etc. [*]Armor to buff up in preparation for a fight. [*]Light to put a glowing blob on the intruder’s head so he can be killed with the power of Basic D&D rules interpretations. [/LIST] Anyway, of course we’re going to cast Sleep while we can! (One of the complaints about this book is that you spend quite a while learning spells and then have few opportunities to use them.) [/QUOTE]
