[QUOTE="Kurotowa, post: 9246939, member: 27957"] AoE is a little risky with the Monk inside. I mean, they do have Evasion and maybe they'll make the save. But AoE is generally inefficient on single targets, and you can't active abilities like Evocation Wizard's Sculpt Spell if you can't see the targets. Eldritch Adept for Devil's Sight would technically work, but it's limited in who can take it and a bit of a steep cost under D&D'24 since it doesn't give an ASI. Moon Druid might have potential. Giant Spider does indeed give 10ft Blindsight. But... you'll forgive me if I've lost track of Moon Druid's current state after all the UA iterations. Under the UA8 Moon Druid rules, are they on a form treadmill where they want to upgrade to a CR2 shape as soon as it's available, or does Giant Spider remain a viable combat body in the longer term? ETA: If I'm parsing it right, the UA8 Moon Druid absolutely needs to be moving on to higher CR forms as they become available. But at CR3 there's the Giant Scorpion, which gets Blightsight 60ft. So Moon Druid kind of works, depending on your level bracket. We'll see if the UA8 version makes it through mostly intact or if there are additional tweaks before the final release. [/QUOTE]
