There is an additional difference between Vicious Mockery and Frostbite. Vicious Mockery specifies "the next attack roll it makes before the end of its next turn" and Frostbite specifies "the next weapon attack roll it makes before the end of its next turn." So, if you target a caster with Frostbite (because they probably have a weaker Con save than Wis), you will not reduce the accuracy of their cantrip or spell attacks that do not involve a weapon. And a spell that uses a save bypasses both effects.

So there is no confusion, when they were saying Book of Shadows at the end, they meant the Book of Ancient Secrets Invocation. It's basically a much more potent Ritual Caster feat, and you don't have to worry about losing your spellbook because you can just conjure it during a short rest again.

If you cast a quickened cantrip as a bonus action, you'd only be able to cast another cantrip as your main action, I think. Makes more sense to quicken the normal spell.

KETCHUP CONTROLLER?! FINALLY! I CAN MASTER THE CONDIMENTS!!!

I played a sorcerer of the sea/ hex blade warlock pact of the blade and the options for battlefield control was absurd. highly recommended if you want to push people off cliffs or Scorpion them over to you with Eldritch blast, lightning lure, or have a neat Ray of frost boost

I'd go sorcerer first for the Con save proficiency. Also can you guys post a list of all the cantrips you ended up taking? Thanks!

Warforged Barbarian grapples an enemy. His Sorcerer ally uses Mold Earth to bury them both. Warforged don't breathe, so just wait until the enemy suffocates. GG

So very brilliant. Thanks for the 1d12 inspiration

Love create Bombfire and mold earth are great combo

First! My sorcerer is the best sorcerer. He has so many spells. He has the best spells

you only mentioned 3 levels of warlock, I would go at least 4, that way you get to raise your charisma by 2 making your cantrips harder to resist / easier to hit

Great build guys!

I took chill touch as a lore bard, and it was pretty great.

Yeah, I think I need to sleep for like a week. I read that as "Catnip Controller" when I first saw it in my feed. Sigh... Anyway, on to watching the actual vid. :)

This sounds so much fun. I'm playing a character kind of like this but with a twist. I'm maining warlock and dipping sorcerer. The potential to cast a few spells at will like cantrips makes it worth it. My party allows all UA and published material. So I'm planning seeker Warlock, a dip of stone sorcerer, and satire Bard. The abilities and buffs I'm able to give and gain are going to be fun.

Great build for a gritty campaign

My current character has 8 cantrips at lvl 3. Lvl1 bard, warlock, and sorcerer. Warlock gives me hexblade, which means that I am suddenly proficient with medium armor, shields, and martial weapons, and my martial weapon works with my charisma instead of str or dex. It also gives me booming blade cantrip. Which means that in the unlikely event that something gets near me, I can hit it with a +6 1d8+4 (with an extra 1d8 if they move. so that cancels a weakness. It also gives me eldritch blast, which at lvl 2 will also get +4. So that one level basically means I have options for defense, melee offense, and ranged offense. So sorcerer, sorcerer gives me 4 cantrips, and "divine soul" means I can choose them from either the sorcerer or cleric spell list. giving me a lot of options. And bard gives me 2 from the bard spell list. He's more of a buffer than a controller, but here is the list he has: Vicious mockery (wis save, 1d4 + disadvantage, psy dam) Frostbite ( con save, 1d6 +disadvantage cold dam) Acid splash( dex save, 1d6 on 2 characters, acid) Minor illusion Eldritch blast (vs AC) booming blade (for melee) Resistance Guidance Will get a few more cantrips later on to make it more controlly, but I already love the versatility.

How does one get lightning? I am trying to make a character just to see what it would look like. I love this idea. I hope to use it in the future.

I would play a version of it.I already do. I have had a hard time convincing some of my players how cool cantrips are.

I am playing something similar in my next campaign. Or rather he's just a Conjuration Wizard, but I have a total of six cantrips at level 3. Two of those are from the Mark of Making (It's an Eberron variant option for Human), and one is a bonus that the DM gave me for my backstory. I didn't get Eldritch Blast because it doesn't really fit with my character's theme very well (I'm playing him as a conjurer that focuses on summoning and elemental magic), but I took Frostbite and Shocking Grasp.

Love this idea, and want to build it out as a sorcerer. Trying to decide if it's better to be a half-elf to get Charisma bonus and Darkvision (so I don't have to take the Light cantrip), or choose variant human for the Magic Initiate Feat at level 1. :-/

Eldritch Spear over Agonising Blast, assuming it stacks with sniper and range metamagic. Also, heightened spell is amazing for many of these cantrips.

I love monk with magic ignite with druid list with thorn wip and primal Savagery

Would aberant mind and fathomless work well for a control and this build ?

Not to mention, the ability to turn your warlock slots into sorcery points every hour, which can be used to regen sorcery slots.

what about create bonfire. It makes a space that does a d8 fire damage so enemies would think twice b4 entering it. Literally CC.

Front line melee monsters tend to have good CON saves.

I have a third level warlock, I have eight cantrips. Two from the class, three from pact of the tome, one from my race, and two from my patron.

My character is a lev 10 Warlock 4, Sorc 4, Wizard 2.

Don't forget the swine soul siphoner! for each and every boar you kill you collect 1 swine soul within the swine soul siphoner, up to a maximum of 65,340,285 souls. you can then add these captured souls as damage to the damage dealt by a cantrip. Meaning that the dreaded swine soul siphoner can let you hit something with a cantrip that deals 65,340,285 damage! perfect magic item for a cantrip user with too much time on their hands.

Has anyone considered quicken spell eldritch blast as bonus action then cast it again with your action. Max level thats 8 attack rolls boy! An each one can push a guy 10ft an he geta no save. If you hit 1 enemy with that he is gone up to 80ft!

When you take repelling blast does the push back always take effect, i.e. fighting a giant or larger creatures? Second question does the repelling blast always have to take effect, i.e. you have them in an advantageous position on the battlefield and just want to hit them with eldritch blast without the push back?

Nice intro

Hello everyone, So I'm new to 5ed ( played one session of AL) and love this idea of using cantrips to manipulate the battle field. I like the whole warlock /sorc idea but I have just two questions. 1) why only three lvls in warlock? Wouldn't hitting forth for the ability stat be a good idea? 2) what do you think of the celestial warlock with the Divine soul sorcerer? Control and heals?

So actually you could get all 14 cantrips w/the 2 feats(3), 4 levels Tome'lock (6, 8 of the cantrips show on the warlock's list) & 4 levels of sorcerer (5).

High elf would give you a free wizard cantrip.

I'm creating a warlock sorcerer that is primarily a healer where my cantrips are the only kind of offense of magic I have. How do you go about creating this character?

How many cantrips can you use on your turn? I know when you go warlock, you can get two eldrich blasts at the same time.

How would you build a magic miner ? it would be so useful you could almost make its own class.

Twin spell works like that? In my table I don't let the Sorcerer twin a fireball

Twin Eldritch blast, then quicken Eldritch blast

Sadly, Twinned Spell doesn't work on Multiattack spells

Spell sniper's cantrip is only one that requires an attack roll

multi-class 10 levels of sorc and 10 levels of either warlock or wiz. take magic initiate as a feat for each class, which would give you 2 cantrips from bard and druid. Total of 15 cantrips at your command at any time. You'd rarely have an encounter long enough to bring it all to bear at once. Your actual spell lists would never get touched.

Definitely a consideration, as I will be going to Chult in a couple of weeks. Yikes.

Create Bonfire and Infestation. Both are wiz/druid

Spell sniper's cantrip must have an attack roll

I'm about to play my 1st game as an Aasimar Divine Sorcerer with 2-3 level dip into Hexblade, you think it's worth going 3 levels into Hexblade with Pact of the Tome at the expense of my level 18 Divine ability Unearthly Recovery?

I thought a spell casting barbarian was a cool idea so i thought I would try to make one myself. Please critique the abilities and descriptions as I would like to know if this is balanced enough. Anyways, here it is. Path of the Rage Mage: Few barbarians walk down the path of the Rage Mage. Rage Mages connect with the divine power of nature to receive their magical abilities. Rage Mages tear through their enemies during their destructive fits of anger. With the help of magic bolstering their combat prowess, they can take out even the most hardy of foes with the deadly combination of weapon, and magic. Spellcasting: Beginning when you choose this path at level 3, you unlock the ability to cast spells. The Rage Mage's spellcasting list follows the Eldritch Knight although it does not receive cantrips. You pick your spells from the Druid spell list and pick from the conjuration and evocation schools. Your spell casting stat is wisdom, as you receive magic through the power of nature. Your spell casting focus is your weapon, although you can only have one weapon as your focus at a time and it takes a 1 hour ritual to bond with the weapon and make it your spell casting focus. Wild Adept: Beginning at 3rd level, your spell casting skills have become revered by other barbarians. Your magic is powerful enough that it can overcome the mindless rage of a barbarian. You can now cast spells while raged, although you cannot concentrate on spells. Battle Magic: At 6th level, you have learned how to swiftly switch from spell casting to physical combat quick enough to get a strike in after you have cast a spell. When you use an action to cast a spell, you can take a bonus action to make a melee weapon attack with your spell focus, your bonded weapon. You may use this equal to your wisdom modifier. Call of Nature: At 10th level, you have become so closely tied to nature that it will sometimes answer your calls of help and try to correct your failures. When you fail a wisdom check, you may re-roll the dice, using the new roll. You cannot re-roll a re-roll. You may use this ability a number of times equal to your wisdom modifier, minimum of once, per long rest. You receive all expended uses at the end of a long rest. Magic Burst: At 14th level, your ability to enter mindless states of anger and rage has become enhanced and intertwined with your magical powers. When you use a bonus action to enter a rage, you can cast a spell that has a casting time of one action as a part of you entering the rage. You can use this ability equal to half proficiency bonus, rounded up. You regain all expended uses after a long rest. Thanks for reading. Please tell me what you like about it, what is too weak, what is too strong and what is just right. Thanks again. EDIT Please tell whether I should include concentrating on spells while raging, I'm not sure about it but I'd like to get some more opinions, and also whether the 14th ability, Magic Burst, should be tweaked and is too good or too bad.

Arcane Trickster will allow at 8th level learning ANY spell caster class spells. For me, that is exciting to look forward to. Adding Magic initiate as a feat make that better for me.

Too bad Evard's black tentacles isn't on the sorcerers spell list otherwise quicken Evard's behind the enemies and push them into the tentacles with eldritch blast. Resulting in them needing to pass the saving throw twice instead of once. Well i guess that might be a reson too take three levels of sorcerer for a great old one warlook.

Not sure if you all will see this comment as this Video is ~ Week old, but just in case one of you guys does. You all should do another Cantrip Video, with the premise of "If you were able to do any Cantrip of any of the Classes, in real life, what would that Cantrip be? You can ONLY CHOOSE ONE CANTRIP."

Sound like min maxing a bit

mold earth,shape water,create bonfire?????????????????

I thought you were going to talk about battlefield control, like minor illusion. Instead you talked about how to get a bunch of crap. Do battlefield control with create bonfire, mold earth, booming blade, EB to move pull and push foes. You talked nothing about actually controlling the battlefield.

I clicked thumbnail to see dnd stuff and two old guys started talking false advertising.Show your face in thumbnail and title video talking so we know not to.be tricked

Knocking stuff out while getting facts wrong. Well glad I stopped watching half way through. Sorry guys. One of the reasons I'm not subbed to this channel. Google brought me here
