![]() ![]() Whether you’re interested in devastating a single opponent or whittling down an army, this is a build worth considering. Unfortunately, this only works while outdoors, so you might want to skip out on those scary dungeon dives. Oh, and you can do all of this while flying, thanks to the Level 17 ability Stormborn. In stormy conditions, the damage is increased by 10 and 1d10, respectively. Under normal conditions, that’s 90 damage for each maximized bolt and 9d10 for each normal bolt (on a failed save). Because you can increase the bolts’ damage by casting Call Lightning from a higher spell slot, from Level 5 to Level 20 this spell scales extremely well with character level.īy Level 18, you will be able to cast Call Lightning from a 9th Level spell slot and maximize up to 3 of the bolts of lightning. Each bolt can hit multiple targets, affecting everything within 5 feet of the point of impact. It lasts for up to 10 minutes, which is equivalent to 100 bolts of lightning. The compares very favorably with the Evocation Wizard’s Overchannel (which can only affect wizard spells of 5th level or lower) and the Sorcerer’s underwhelming Empowered Spell.Īt Level 5, the Tempest Cleric gains Call Lightning as a domain spell. Remember, this allows the cleric to deal maximum damage with a lightning or thunder spell of ANY level. At Level 2, the Tempest Cleric gains Channel Divinity: Destructive Wrath. This is just a class doing what it is meant to do, no rules lawyering or shenanigans. The beauty of this build is in its simplicity. Other Features: Moderate hit dice, heavy armor, limited permaflight. Weaknesses: Not effective against anything immune to lightning damage, not effective indoors, requires concentration, uses up character’s action to inflict damage. Strengths: High burst damage, moderate sustained damage potential, limited battlefield control, can use a single spell slot per encounter (spell slot of 3rd Level or higher). A storm cloud appears in the shape of a cylinder that is 10 feet tall with a 60-foot radius, centered on a point you can see 100 feet directly above you. Keep Call Lightning going as long as needed to finish off opponents.ĭamage type: AoE lightning (burst, sustained) Target: A point in the air where a storm cloud could appear 100 feet directly above you. Mechanic: Use Channel Divinity to maximize the damage of bolts of lightning created by Call Lightning. One class specialization that does this with ease? The Tempest Cleric. We are going to start off with a very simple idea: doing high amounts of damage within a round. Hey folks, this is the first post in a series taking quick looks at different builds, each focused on a specific mechanic or theme. ![]()
