It’s D&D night, and Seymour the rogue is hiding behind an ominous obelisk, ready to throw a dagger at the Arcanaloth who flies over the battlefield. He hurls the blade, attacking with advantage, but rolls a 2 and a 9 on the dice. After adding his modifiers, it’s a 16 to hit. Seymour needs this […]

There are dozens of spells in the world of D&D, to say nothing of all the homebrew content. While most spells tend to do their damage and then either add an effect or simply shut down, some other spells last for a few rounds or even can strike multiple targets. Witch Bolt is one of

It’s D&D night and your barbarian cartoons head first into the room with no concern for the rest of the party or what’s on the other side. A hooded figure stands up from their desk in the room and casts a spell. The DM asks you to make a Wisdom saving throw. You roll a
