#just don't literally look up a monster's statblock in the middle of combat

Hot tip for Dragonborn Sorcerers out there, if you're fighting a foe that's bad at dexterity saving throws, try using Quickened Spell on Fireball (or Lightning Bolt) to cast that as a bonus action, and use your breath weapon in the same turn

#musings #dungeons and dragons #dragons #this is one of the best uses i can think of for the breath weapon prior to the ua #targeting saving throws you think an enemy is bad at is a good strategy #just don't literally look up a monster's statblock in the middle of combat #that's cheating #but as a rule of thumb i find that monsters with high ac tend to be big bunguses #and big bunguses typically don't have high dexterity #an enemy in heavy armor is fireball bait
