[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 7866085, member: 1210"] Hey guys! I'm converting an old 4e pc over to 5e for one of my players, and have run into one power in particular that has left me mulling over what the best 5e equivalent would be. I'd love to get the take of those of you who are/were 4e players/DMs on this. The pc was a tiefling wizard. His paragon path was Turathi highborn, and that is where one of the questionable powers is. Specifically, what would you turn the 4e version of [i]bolts of bedevilment[/i] into, in 5e terms? The 4e version, if it hits, forces an enemy to make an attack against a creature of your choice, dealing extra fire damage on a hit. It's that extra fire damage that is both so cool and somewhat puzzling- I don't think there's anything quite like it in 5e. I could just make a new spell to recreate it, but if something that already exists captures the flavor and basic idea, that would be preferable. Does 5e have something like that, that you can think of? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
