Message: <blockquote data-quote="Celtavian" data-source="post: 6574038" data-attributes="member: 5834">You're talking to a long-term wizard player (various types) across every edition.Not a bubble. A floating dimensional aperture 50 feet above the ground.Have you played 5E? It does not sound like you've played 5E. There is very little that can affect the environment in 5E in terms of magic, especially with a 1 action casting times. Illusions are mostly useless against dragons due to blindsight and more useless against god dragons due to truesight. In 5E you do not have easy access to scrolls, wands/staffs, and other such items. They are extremely rare and you cannot make them or buy them in the standard game. None of the tactics you recommended were available or necessary. Once you start playing 5E, you will find the listed tactics very, very difficult to use as few spells allow that type of environmental manipulation at the moment. My spell list is set up to deal with  a variety of problems that have plagued us as we leveled up. The reason I keep spells memorized that I might otherwise not in previous editions is because you have no means to make them permanent such as see invisibility or put on a scroll such as teleport or they have an excessively long casting time such as conjure elemental. It's a very different game. You have to be prepared for a lot of different possibilities with a smaller pool of available spells and magic items than previous editions.</blockquote>
