Ravines that must be crossed on a narrow path (e.g. (1) Environmental effects that inflict damage proportional to the number of creatures. Generally speaking, if you want to build an adventure that can challenge swarms of henchmen/conjured animals, you need one or more of: A CR 1/2 Magma Mephit's 2d6 breath weapon looks weak at first, but if it hits 5 targets on a strafing run, and then the Magma Mephit flies away to possibly do it again in a few rounds, it looks quite a bit better, especially if there are five other Magma Mephits doing the same thing. Swarms of monsters or PCs are hard to deal with on a single-target basis, but that's exactly where AoE (area of effect) shines. The other thing to be aware of is that 5E has kind of a rock-paper-scissors situation going on with monster design. But I figure some of you might be able to offer some sensible obvious things, where if ignored or missed, turn a spell into abuse. I understand this is unhelpfully vague, I mean you aren't at my table, and it's kinda hard to describe things you don't know you aren't doing. Now while I'm an old timer, I've been learning 5e and I have a nagging feeling we are totally ignoring something basic about running conjure animals that is making it overly strong. I'm just thinking I'm possibly missing something that had ended up making this spell outsized in its power at our table. I'm not one to just ban what's in the books. And it's ruining a lot of fun for everyone. So far, this has been screaming success introducing a new generation of kids to table top RPGs.Įxcept with the party reaching 5th level now, our druid found conjure animal for her 3rd level spell. We're playing Princes of the Apocalypse, everyone is loving it and excited for every session. I'm DMing, our player's party is a half-elf cleric, dragonborn barbarian, dwarf fighter, and tiefling druid. My son turned 16 so I felt now was a good time to introduce him to RPGs. I've been out of RPGs since the end of 3.5, occasionally dipped into try 4e and put it down.
