re: #86 Belafon

I’m reading the D&D Player’s Manual, hoping to play sometime in the future. In the class descriptions. The Bard, in particular, has a spell (a cantrip, which means it doesn’t cost anything to use) called Vicious Mockery, which is described as:

“You unleash a string of insults laced with subtle enchantments at a creature you can see within range (60 ft). If the target can hear you (though it doesn’t have to understand), it must succeed on a wisdom throw or take 1d4 psychic damage and have disadvantage on its next attack roll.”

And, as you get higher up in levels, the amount of psychic damage the Bard dishes out increases.

I must admit that, even though I have always preferred Runequest and Traveller, D&D5e is the best version yet of the 500 lb gorilla. It just does things like the Bard right ;) I also dearly love MacGyvering a LG~NG~CG thief (or rogue as they call it these days) because it drives Paladins nuts.
