This is A) fun, and B) will help you learn about Dexterity saving throws, a number you’ll need to learn as you level.Ī Wizard is not a beginner class, even at level one. When you have multiple enemies clustered together (like a gaggle of goblins or a huddle of zombies) use your movement to position yourself to unleash Burning Hands. “ I use Burning Hands.” Occasionally, a wizard should let loose.Not only will you do 1d8 of cold damage each hit, but you reduce the enemy’s speed, which helps “control the battlefield.” Then cast Ray of Frost over and over again. Have someone help you determine your ranged spell attack number. “ I cast Ray of Frost.” While other cantrips (spells that can be used each action without penalty) like Shocking Grasp are great choices, let’s go with Ray of Frost.Your actions should then be choosing a cantrip or using a spell slot.

With this article specifically, we’ll be talking about the Wizard and Sorcerer classes.īut, first, that movement tip.
