The New Flame Blade

[Pan Darius Cassandra]

So I just leveled my Druid to lvl 3 and found out about the changes to Flame Blade.

Instead of unlimited duration and concentration, it is now 10 rounds and no concentration.

So you can use it in conjunction with other concentration based spells.

Any combo ideas?

I was thinking Flame Blade and Sleet Storm, assumimg prone gets you an autocrit with Flame Blade, and I can find some gear to prevent myself from getting knocked prone.

prone doesnt get you autocrits, but it does give advantage.

Prone doesn't get autocrits. Just adv.
You want paralyze for autocrits.

[Pan Darius Cassandra]

Ok. Does Druid get any paralyze spells?

Pretty sure they get hold person, right?

Then there you go.

Yeah I just looked it up.

A Hold Person/Flame Blade build could be interesting.

Has anyonev tried summoning a second Flame Blade? Can you dual wield them?

According to the wiki, Flame blade does in fact require concentration. So you couldnt mix it with hold person, nor could you summon 2

Cool, yeah, we're talking about how Larian implemented it in BG3. FYI, during EA it had "until long rest" duration, but it also required concentration. In release, they removed the concentration requirement, but gave it a 10 round duration.

Using it again just replaces the old one
