[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 6698834, member: 11146"] Glad to hear agreement about [I]bane[/I]. I'll switch back to [I]bane[/I], if I have Dent cast anything at all. It's looking, however, like a more efficient use of Dent's spellcasting slots will be to use them on divine smite rather than actual spells; we've needed a magic weapon the last two combats. Since Tolan gets advantage to shove, it sounds like it's smarter to have him do the shoving. Reviewing what's been said in the OOC, it sounds like the most productive use of combat rounds (which, I agree, is a fact-sensitive inquiry and depends on environment) is for Dent to disengage and maneuver out of the way (or wait for [I]armor of agathys[/I] or [I]blade ward[/I] to do its work, then move), then to use the help action (per Kobold Stew's post a bit above here in the OOC) to help a party member land a hit. After that, hopefully we have a prone foe we can attack. If not, the most productive use I can think of for Dent's actions are to either use Abjure Enemy to isolate and "hold" a boss, or to start smiting things adjacent to him. Dent has three uses of divine smite after each long rest. Rolling for hit dice recovery: [roll0] [/QUOTE]
