Notes

• Flaming Sphere might look fragile at first sight, but:
  • It is resistant to ⁠Slashing, ⁠Bludgeoning, ⁠Piercing, ⁠Acid, and ⁠Lightning damage.
  • It is also immune to ⁠Necrotic, ⁠Psychic, ⁠Poison, and ⁠Fire.
• The Sphere can jump without using a bonus action, only the regular movement cost.

Bugs

• The DC for both Ram attack and Ablaze is always calculated using the caster's Wisdom modifier, even for wizards.
