WARNING: Flaming Sphere BAD

[AdAstraWill]

Ok so I was just testing out flaming sphere and um....it follows you to camp.

It spawned with me at the edge of camp (underdark) and then its AoE aggro'd scratch and the owlbear pet LMAO

Please dont bring it back to camp. Nobody should be bringing back a flaming sphere of doom back to camp. This is bad. Sphere bad. Fire bad. Things that don't despawn after combat, bad.

Edit: some are taking this thread a little too seriously, its mostly a joke thread, I do think though as a general rule of thumb unless party members are immune too other friendly summons post combat it should just despawn. There are things in this game I wish had more consequence and such, this is not one of them lol

Goodness gracious great balls of fire...

Click on Sphere. Click on extinguish flame option. No more 🔥 Happy camping.

[Pan Darius Cassandra]

Dismiss it.

Well obviously it isn't if it left scorch marks on your party

What's better than 1 flaming sphere? Four of them! Since they are a 10 turn minion you can in theory spawn em and toggle grouping to disconnect them, and then send your group to camp and play with the four summons.

10 turns is about 60-90 seconds real time though.

Imagine having 4 cleric/wizard classes doing flaming sphere then sanctuary on yourself, the enemy ai would stand there cuz well they can't target anyone with direct attacks.

Flame sphere works well with a druid as well since you can transform into a giant spider and shoot webs endlessly...

So maybe a multiplayer session can be fun.

Which is something you should never do when confronted with a wild, carnivorous predator...

[Nuee]

To be fair, in past iterations of DnD, the flaming sphere did have a duration that expired.

Which battle was that? lol
and what was your class + party classes + game difficulty?

[Noctoculus]

People actually defending getting damaged by your own summons after combat.

Its fun spell, in the monastery I sent it in the room with all the wine spilled all over the place. Had a Kobald BBQ going in there for a min.

[Captain Worthy]

I've missed all this awesomeness somehow, in my playthrough the enemies always surround the Flaming Sphere and kill it before taking any damage from its aura. 😔

Why would think that that was necessary?

Why would I WANT to do that if I can still (in theory) use it?

Because it will kill scratch and the owlbear cub?

True but in this case I think this is more of a funny little bug. Nothing too game breaking but still kinda funny.
