But, I also did not assume that it would cast another one right away either. One of my allies could have cast a spell on it (5 of the 6 PCs have spells) or criticaled it, it could have focused attention elsewhere to a greater threat. Combat is fluid. Lots of things can happen.The first casualty of any battle is the plan (or assumptions).Yup, it can. It was unlikely in this case (foes would have had to provoke), but that's often possible. It actually would have cost me the Scorching Ray (order of combat: I cast web, it saved, moved and cast lightning bolt, I cast scorching ray and moved behind a different undead, it moved and cast lightning bolt). And as I pointed out earlier, not damaging the naga with scorching ray might have been more detrimental to the party.If one is in a 5 foot wide corridor, sure. But, not in a room fighting. No matter the direction, worse case, a foe would only have to move 5 feet to spot someone behind a 5x5x5 minor illusion cube. And of course, this does not stop lightning bolt, so I'm not sure why you are suggesting it. It takes an action and does practically nothing. Fog Cloud is much better.Course, the rules on knowing where a PC is located if he casts Fog Cloud and then moves within it are basically non-existent in 5E. Each DM will run it differently (correct me if I am wrong on this).Yup. Course, it limits movement. I was fairly well protected via potential cover bonus plus the Shield spell. Prone tends to be more anti-ranged weapons since a spell caster can cast a save spell.That's the point. What could a 4th level wizard possibly have to shut down spell casting of a bone naga? Some spells might give it a penalty of some sort, but I cannot think of one that would prevent it from casting. And even if it is possible, what are the odds that the wizard has prepped (or even knows) the spell required? If the web would have worked, the Bard could have cast Silence in the area, but that too wasn't an option.Would Blindness/Deafness work? Who knows? It sounds DM dependent on whether a bone naga could figure out where to throw a lightning bolt while blind or what penalties it might have trying to do so. My wizard didn't know the spell in any case.Suggestion does not always work against powerful undead since many are immune to charm. A bone naga is immune.Sleep does not work against undead.</blockquote>
