Spell wise Spike growth is my new best friend. I have to assume they will make the AI smarter to keep out of it in the future, but for now whole packs of enemies will shred themselves just trying to get at me, I love it. the sphere is really cool too, I wish it shared initiative with the druid though so it felt more like using your action to move it instead of taking no action and then the sphere may get a turn later if you can keep the concentration up. Moonbeam is crazy powerful. I used it in the Blighted Village and from a rooftop, I could target a different goblin every turn and one shot them. I did always picture moving it though as the illuminated area moving along the ground and not just dropping another beam at the new location.
Yeah, haven't messed with badger yet. Really tempted to start over. Getting my butt kicked in the underdark. Think ill go club and shield. Should fet pretty good ac, as you say.i didnt realize flame sphere acted on its own. Thats actually kinda nice. Spike growth is awesome for slowing things down, but I haven't seen it do much damage yet.
