[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8582790, member: 93670"] on "game 2" there is almost no tactics now, charge into range & attack till one side dies then repeat is pretty much it. [LIST] [*]Monster not in reach? close in as direct a route as possible& attack till it dies [*]monster in reach? good attack it again [*]Low on health & going to drop? Stay there & keep attacking , you can always pop up with a healing word 1 point lay on hands or whatever [*]Not sure what weapon to use? magic bludgeon/piercie/slash of the biggest die you can use [*]Monsters have energy resists? Probably not much to be done other than maybe try to use something other than fire by trial & error because limited prep/known slots & not many real options due to [URL='https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/177-spell-spotlight-fireball'][I]iconic[/I] spells[/URL]. [*]Monsters have magic resist? it's no longer a some spells thing like SR so not much to adapt [*]want to (de)buff strategically? concentration mostly makes that one & done. [*]want to stop monsters from reaching squishies? why would you when someone can healing word them too? [LIST] [*]Want to anyways? with the ability to run laps around an opponent you just add a few extra feet going around your occupied square so sentinel or physically block a 5foot wide hall [/LIST] [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
