*The cantrip selection Shadowheart has in the beginning is very sub-optimal, which can be frustrating, especially to newer players who may not understand why: | |||
**As the {{SmIconLink|Fire Bolt Icon.png|Fire Bolt|Fire Bolt}} cantrip Shadowheart starts with is a high half-elven racial spell, its attack roll bonus scales off intelligence, an ability Shadowheart is not specialized in. This makes the hit chance of this version of firebolt very low in Shadowheart's hands. | |||
== Gallery == | **Her other cantrip, {{SmIconLink|Sacred Flame Icon.png|Sacred Flame|Sacred Flame}} is not an attack cantrip, but rather a saving throw cantrip, This means it is not helped by the various bonuses and advantages an attack would enjoy ([[High Ground Rules]], [[Advantage|Advantage from hidden attack]], etc). Furthermore, it is a dexterity save cantrip, and dexterity is an ability many enemies are decent at. | ||
**The best way out of this situation is to pick up a better offensive cantrip elsewhere, either by picking {{SmIconLink| Produce Flame Icon.png|Produce Flame|Produce Flame}} when at cleric level 4. Or finding equipment that grant offensive cantrips (in such cases Shadowheart's natural Spellcasting Ability, Wisdom, is used instead) | |||
**And since her Strength and Dexterity isn't high either, early on her best offensive option is likely to be {{SmIconLink|Guiding Bolt Icon.png|Guiding Bolt|Guiding Bolt}} while at range, and {{SmIconLink|Inflict Wounds Icon.png|Inflict Wounds|Inflict Wounds}} while up close. Both of course costs spell slots. | |||
**She can also indirectly contribute of the party's damage output via {{SmIconLink|Bane Icon.png|Bane |Bane }} and {{SmIconLink|Bless Icon.png|Bless|Bless}}, the former makes the affected enemies 10% more likely to get hit, the latter makes the affected allies 10% more likely to land a hit. Note that bane requires its target to fail a saving throw to take effect so it is somewhat less reliable. | |||
***These are both {{Concentration}} spells however, so there is a risk in using these. make sure Shadowheart is safe from damage if this is the option chosen. | |||
