We can overcome Voss's impressive bonuses by raising our [[Spell Save DC]] and, in a more limited fashion, lowering his saving throws. Though casting [[Bane]] or another save-reducing effect directly upon him would normally trigger combat, we can achieve the latter effect by getting him within range of an [[Invisible]] character bearing the {{SAI|Phalar Aluve: Shriek}} aura. Notably, this only reduces his Wisdom save, making it only useful for one spell here. | |||
=== Disarming Attack (Ranged) === | One character will be able to maximize their Spell Save DC within Act One using the following items: | ||
* {{RarityItem|Melf's First Staff}} | |||
* {{RarityItem|The Protecty Sparkswall}} | |||
* {{RarityItem|The Shadespell Circlet}} | |||
With a party level of five, assuming we are using a Level 5 character with a spellcasting ability score of 18, with these items equipped, our Spell Save DC will be 18. Maximizing our chances, we can get an ability score of 20 with an [[ASI]] and [[Auntie Ethel's Hair]], increasing our Spell Save DC to 19. | |||
==== Command: Drop ==== | |||
This is the least tantalizing option, owing to Voss's innate advantage on Wisdom saves. We can cancel out this advantage by using a multiclassed Sorcerer 4/Paladin 1 and using {{SAI|Metamagic: Heightened Spell}}. Combined with the Phalar Aluve debuff, we pit our '''19 DC''' against his '''1d20 + 6 - 1d4''' to save. | |||
==== Heat Metal ==== | |||
Voss does not get advantage when his Constitution saves are targeted. However, being able to cast {{SAI|Heat Metal}} with Heightened Spell requires at least Level 6 for a Sorcerer 3/(Bard or Druid) 3 split. This requires more significantly more grinding in order to gain that juicy Disadvantage, otherwise with a Bard or Druid Level 4+ it's a flat '''19 DC''' against his '''1d20 + 7''' to save. | |||
