Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sacrosanct" data-source="post: 7033942" data-attributes="member: 15700">What do you mean, "anywhere near an equivalent scenario"?  I was playing a necromancer.  It's not unusual for a necromancer to choose necrotic spells (my back up were poison spells).  You seem to be assuming that casters have all spells available to them all the time.  You have to choose which spells you learn, and which ones you prepare.  So unless I knew in advance all the enemies I would be facing (knowing one would be immune to both my necrotic and poison) and choose to learn a fire spell as opposed to one more fitting to my actual class, then I'm sorry, it very much IS relevant. The scenario you're describing seems very unlikely.You're assuming every class has access to magic weapons.  That's hardly a given.  And in fact in 5e, is not assured at all.  Of all the PCs I've ran and seen run at our table, I'd say the average level before getting a magic weapon is around level 8 or 9.  Some don't get one until the teens. Heck, my tempest cleric never got a single magic weapon for the entire Tiamat campaign, and i was level 15 when I finished that.  I had some magic items, but none were weapons.  I can't recall if the rogue had one or not.  Maybe the dragonbone dagger or something like that, but it was not until higher levels.Besides, you said: "...literally every other character is able to do 100% passively in some form or fashion."  and that's simply not true because it makes assumptions that aren't 100% chance to occur.  So that's an objectively incorrect claim.   "literally every other character can bypass magic resistance passively" is not true.  I would posit not even most of the time, depending on how your table plays.Your necromancer couldn't cast Animate Dead?</blockquote>You need dead bodies for that.  And my previous skeletons got all smashed up by then.  I suppose I could have waited for one of my allies to die and use his bones...Instead I just used my familiar to use the help action, if you're curious.[/QUOTE]
