Day 29: Favourite Spell

5th Edition has some great spells but some a just more fun that others. Choosing one to be my favourite spell rests on whether I’m the player or the DM.

From the player’s perspective, I remember successfully using counterspell to stop the “Big Bad” from wreaking havoc on us as we assailed his tower. I’ve never found out just what spell the NPC was going to cast. The look on the DM’s face said it all though.

I managed to illicit a similar look when I used time stop as a DM. My stone giant gained the initiative, dropped this spell and proceeded to gain another 4 rounds to prepare for the PCs’ attacks. They succeeded but it was a hard fought victory.
