Agreed with Lee on minor illusion. Best cantrip in the game IMO (but that could be my bias as an illusionist). 5 fave uses: 1. Create traps/pits for ambushes (like making the floor appear to be there when you've actually dug a 10 ft pit with mold earth). 2. Generate advantage in combat. This is self-explanatory. Can even make this sustainable advantage if you're creative with the structure of the object. 3. Create a hiding spot/cover in combat (solid snake style like a crate, barrel, closet, etc). This would waste an enemy action to investigate. 4. Divide enemy forces by creating an auditory distraction far away. 5. Block an escape route (like creating a hole in wall with passwall then blocking the route for chasers with an illusion of the wall being intact.
I specifically went Forest Gnome on Kellen to get free Minor Illusion and had to chose between prestidigitation or mage hand (took Ray of Frost for range and Shocking Grasp to get out of sticky situation as my other two cantrips). Prestidigitation just slightly edged out and won. Mainly because instantly cleaning something without touching it has come in handy way more than I would have thought in another game, and then there is also so much more it can do. That character has mage hand as well and it has gotten less use, but been absolutely clutch when I did use it. If and when I get to the level I can pick up another cantrip I'm hoping to be able to pick up mage hand, but I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to pass up firebolt and have two ranged damage types in case Ray of Frost is ineffective against a foe. I will have magic missile as a spell so I wouldn't be completely useless if I took mage hand and faced something Ray of Frost was not good against, but, well spell slots are really valuable. Especially when I'm going to have to rely on shield and expeditious retreat for defense and mobility.
Also, I only have gone through spells up to spell level 5, but I have narrowed down what I may end up taking, almost everything is something mentioned in this video.
When building Milo for Eve of Ruin, Jake took Ray of Frost and Mind Sliver as his attack options. Starting at level 10 (and having Misty Step) helps out with not needing Shocking Grasp.
Chicago-style. New York pizza is too floppy... I have to fold it in half. Not enough crust. Chicago style: weird shape (why would anyone make a square pizza?), but delicious.
@@vanessaaves3271 wait… folding it is a bad thing?? Blasphemy!! It’s the only way! Chicago is good, no doubts there, but forgetaboutit when comparing to NY 🤌🏻 Also, if you ever have the chance to try Sicilian pizza from NY, I think you’d LOVE it. Extra thick crust. It’s also square but I love a corner slice.
I dunno, as a Coloradan, our pizza isn’t big like New Yorks. So when I visited, the folding thing was not intuitive at all! It felt….. intrinsically wrong. However, I can’t deny the flavor, I went to some hole in the wall pizza place, and it was absolutely delicious. Even if I did feel like I needed a knife and fork to eat my slice 😁
@@vanessaaves3271 I completely accept this response and that’s precisely the kind of place to try it! Edit… although using a fork and knife instantly indicates being a tourist 😂
Trust me, I would never insult a slice of pizza by using cutlery to sully it. I just looked around, noticed the folding method, said a prayer to the cheese gods not to have it end up in my lap, and went for it.
Silvery barbs is combat only. It’s a reaction “when a creature SUCCEEDS (on an attack, ability, or saving throw ”. Further, the creature MUST use the lower roll. So you would be casting silvery barbs on yourself or someone in your party after they’ve succeeded to make them re-roll. That’s not utility. That’s just being a jerk haha

Love these tierlist videos! Wouldn't mind more 😁👍

As soon as i heard silvery barbs, i thought like "how can lee chose this, no one can use that spell" every dm Ive ever had banned it LOL
We had some spicy takes during that part of the conversation!
Great choices all around. Thought for sure Jake would pick True Strike. But hey 🤷♂️
And the best pizza is the one you’re eating. 😂
Was so close to picking True Strike just to make people mad 😂

I don't know why but I always seem to forget how freaking powerful fly is
It’s so easy to forget the fly speed is 60’!
Jake so obvious-Lee chose the better spells

Also, New York pizza is > any other kind of pizza. I hadn’t even heard of Connecticut pizza being something special until these two nerds told me.

We will be all too happy to inform Lee of this. There could be some strange table dynamics out there, but that is most definitely a combat spell!
Whose list is better? I think both of them had great choices! And for different reasons as well...
Just to be on the safe side, we’re counting this as a vote for Jake 😉
Detroit style pizza, then Chicago, then NY.
Bananas!
