0:00
if I were to cast time stop what are the
0:02
best five spells to cast that's a fun
0:05
question so time stop gives you 1d4 plus
0:08
one rounds and you can't directly affect
0:11
other creatures during that time so you
0:13
can't do things like fireball or finger
0:15
of death or anything like that which
0:17
generally means you're going to go for
0:18
like utility spells area control spells
0:22
uh buffs things like that so you have
0:24
some great options but you know as usual
0:27
you're limited to concentrating on a
0:28
single spell so you have to figure out
0:30
okay what is the best possible use of
0:34
this time it's really going to depend on
0:37
your situation unfortunately which is
0:39
super frustrating uh my go-to options
0:43
would be force cage uh maybe delayed
0:47
blast fireball and probably teleport if
0:50
I'm in a situation where I want to cast
0:52
time stop nine times out of 10 my first
0:55
priority is going to be getting to
0:58
safety and coming back better armed to
1:01
handle the situation but if I'm with my
1:03
party if I have friends around me and
1:06
we're going into this fight ahead of
1:08
time then I'm probably already coming in
1:11
pre-buffed ready to rock uh in that case
1:15
I'm just trying to set up the
1:16
battlefield for whatever situation is at
1:19
hand whatever fight we're having and I
1:21
want to put myself and my allies at the
1:24
biggest advantage possible area control
1:27
spells uh wall spells like wall of stone
1:30
basically things that don't take
1:31
concentration but that will shape the
1:34
battlefield in my favor if I can put
1:36
down difficult terrain in a place that's
1:38
going going to bother my enemies but
1:40
help my allies if I can wall off parts
1:43
of the encounter so that I can at least
1:45
slow them down before they can get to us
1:47
like all of those things buy us time get
1:50
us tactical advantages beyond just
1:53
damage and status conditions and things
1:55
like that so there is a ton you can do
1:58
but it's really really difficult to
2:00
predict one set of solutions that's
2:04
going to work in every possible
2:05
situation but if you do need an easy
2:08
go-to force cage to drop on top of
2:12
whatever is the biggest threat nearby
2:14
maybe delayed blast fireball if that's
2:16
an option in the situation and then
