D&D 5E Green, White, Blue - Which one comes next

[Michael Morris]

For the next ten days I'll be conducting a survey to see which color will rule over March. Two have been done - Black and Red. Of the three that remain...

Green is the most in need of spells, with several level gaps. A visit to this color can only mean good things for druid players since that class has access to many of green's spells..

White has the most wards of the game even now, but what kind of offense can it generate when it needs to. Such is an interesting question.

Blue. Need I say more <EG>

 

[Mordane76]

In all honesty, I don't think the power of white should ever be offense. Cards like Swords to Plowshares, Reverse Damage, Alabaster Potions, and Disenchant are the true power of White. Otherwise, you're left with things like Conversion, Wrath of God, and Armageddon -- while offensive, I don't know how these would work in d20 mechanics.


Still, I think White should be next -- if nothing but to counter some of the evil wrought by Black.

"A spell blast isn't the most efficient or the most elegant answer to a spell. But it is an answer, and sometimes that alone is enough." - Alblasker
