[QUOTE="Keith Laine Burns, post: 7251075, member: 6913740"] [b]Prestidigitation and the rogue.[/b] Ok so I have had a few excellent uses of prestidigitation with IRL games. Rogue sneaking up on camp of sodliers. Wizard not far off, cantrips the fires out and wets (soils) each torch. Presti a small drag figure and puts a light behind it to cast on the wall a dragon. Soldiers freak and begin to corral around the areas furthest from the shadow. They now are surprised with a knife in the back and rolling to see if he gets caught after each sneak kill. Also phantom pyre. Make a guards torch extinguish and light yours at the same time off to the side. A ghost whisper floats about. Then The fires switch again. In battle I've used personally the cantrip to distract guards in the strike of thing. "I use presti to make glittering balls that glow. I want to the hit the goblins eyes when he lifts his sword." Fine, goblins successfully hits, but as he swings his sword light hit his eyes all sparkly, goblin drobs the sword to rub his face, use a bonus action? Combat2: it's your turn what do you want to do. There's three men approaching with daggers. "I heat their handles to burn their hands, and say I am the Lord, your hands shall feel the scorn of attacking me and not worshipping me" Also. I've used it as a rogue sorcerer, throw my voice and create a body odor in a different opposite facing direction. Knife their back. Presti a trap to look normal and they fall in. Survive a blizzard. Protect against ice attacks. Heat yourself up or your armor a bit. Protect from fire by dampening and cooling off. In a Forrest fire set by a mad necromancer like I once was, youd be cooling off and dampening everything too. It's been used to create a beacon or a lighthouse on a cliff. My dm was saddened by the ease we had. We where supposed to build a light house. took a broken sheild from a guard. Got drift wood. Cantriped mold earth to make a circular slab put that on a rolling ball bearing made out of earth. Dried drift wood and set ablaze created two small figures to hold shield. Presti and mold earth. Done. I never get disguise self. If I can change the colors and smell. Nobody would recognize me for the most part. [/QUOTE]
