I just haven't tried either in a campaign yet so I am unsure how well it works out. Careful spell is now compatible with 5 sorcerer spells that don’t do damage. Really though, being have to ground zero fireballs directly on my party is worth its weight in gold until you get the bigger damage/utility spells.Yeah, careful spell doesn't automatically remove the possibility of damage but you can still build your character around that by picking up evasion or shield master somehow.īut careful spell isn't just limited to evocations so there is a wider array of tricks you can pull off with it. Sculpt spell and careful spell are VERY VERY VERY different because of one HUGE mechanical different. Really though, being have to ground zero fireballs directly on my party is worth its weight in gold until you get the bigger damage/utility spells. Flaming Sphere should be one as well but it's not an evocation spell for some reason. Throwing up Wall of Fire circles that my party can walk through is hilarious, as is Storm Sphere. I have a high level Evocation Wizard and love it.

Drop them bombs like it's going out of style, your party wont care. Sculpt Spell = your party automatically saves AND takes zero damage. Most AoE spells this means they still take 1/2 damage. People need to move beyond simple binaries. Careful is essential for Evocation builds. Subtle is the best defense against Counterspelling. Has anyone tried a build like this using either wizard or sorcerer to make a character who often stands inside concentration based or other cool AoE spells? How did it work out?Sculpt spell and careful spell are VERY VERY VERY different because of one HUGE mechanical different.Ĭareful Spell = your party automatically saves. Best for what Quickened is a popular option for short burst builds. You and your allies can autosave while everyone who wants to get into melee with you has to save every round they want to be hitting you. I was having trouble with wizard since they are limited to just evocation spells but sorcerer has it a little easier since careful metamagic works with any AoE spell and not just evocations.įor Sorcerer, it really takes off around 5th level with a careful stinking cloud that you stand inside. I was looking at the evocation wizard with sculpt spells and the sorcerer with careful metamagic and was wondering if anyone had tried to use either class to make a build where the caster uses concentration AoE spells as a sort of battlefield control.
