The audio quality is a little different, but it's still 100% listenable and 100% fun. This is helped by this being our first in-person episode, where we all (seriously, for the first time since this show started) had the day off and were in the same city.
The boys take some time to collect themselves and move forward, only for things to go immediately off the chain.

The nice thing about playing a wizard of any kind is knowing what you are getting. The ability to manipulate rolls is a really fun feature for the players and the DM. The Divination Wizard is just like any wizard – really fun until they are out of spell slots. It can also be a lot of fun for the player. This can become a major pain for a DM in a variety of circumstances. Lucky Feat- You can reroll a d20 three times per long rest.Portents- You can replace two results with your rolled portents for the day.Halfling Luck- When you roll a 1 on a d20 for an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw you may reroll.Three of them are rerolls and two are value swaps. A Halfling Divination Wizard with the lucky feat can alter 5 rolls per long rest at level 4. It’s not really a broken build but it can cause some serious headaches. The Lucky Halfling Divination Wizard build can be problematic. The wizard is not limited in spell selection based on the Arcane Tradition chosen so all spell choices are still available. Any builds created should focus around that concept and ways to optimize that feature. The thing that makes Divination wizards special is the Portents Feature.

If you’ve never played, Magic the Gathering. Study the School of Transmutation Personally, I’m a huge Magic the Gathering fan. When you cast a divination spell of 2nd level or higher using a spell slot, you regain one expended spell slot. As far as Dungeons and Dragons 5e bombs are concerned, a goblin wizard could be the right character: 5e bomb rules Choose the goblin race Choose spells and cantrips focused around explosions (and escaping them). When you finish a long rest, you lose any unused foretelling rolls.Ħ th Level- Expert Divination: casting divination spells comes so easily to you that it expends only a fraction of your spellcasting efforts. You must choose to do so before the roll, and you can replace a roll in this way only once per turn.Įach foretelling roll can be used only once. You can replace any attack roll, saving throw, or ability check made by you or a creature that you can see with one of these foretelling rolls. Divination Arcane Tradition BonusesĢ nd Level- Gold and time required to copy a Divination spell into your spell book are halved.Ģ nd Level- Portents: When you finish a long rest, roll two d20s and record the numbers rolled. The character is gifted special abilities thanks to their focused study. Playing a Divination Wizard is little more than playing a wizard who chooses Divination magic as their Arcane Tradition at 2 nd level.
