There is a captivating witch hunt documentary currently available for streaming on Netflix. The film delves into the history of the witch trials in Salem, Massachusetts, as well as their broader social and cultural implications. Through a combination of expert interviews, historical reenactments, and archival footage, the documentary takes viewers on a compelling journey to uncover the motivations behind the witch hunts and the devastating consequences they had on innocent lives. The main **emphasis** of the film is on shedding light on the hysteria and paranoia that fueled the persecution of individuals accused of witchcraft, ultimately leading to a tragic chapter in American history. By examining the trials through a contemporary lens, the documentary prompts viewers to reflect on the dangers of unchecked suspicion, bigotry, and the manipulation of fear for personal gain. Overall, the witch hunt documentary on Netflix serves as a chilling reminder of the darkness that can arise from mass hysteria and the importance of upholding justice and fairness in society.
Distant is in the bottom two, I think. But in some niche builds, it works great. Distant GFB or Distant BB works well, for example. It's also good to use for touch spells. Familiars can get killed easily in an AoE, losing all ability to cast touch spells at a distance.
But after King Fergus saw Elinor s torn dress and the bear in the castle, he locked his daughter in the tapestry room to keep her safe, while he and the lords went to kill it. It can even fit into the strategy A recurring magical nemesis may study the party and as a result try to trick the sorcerer into using their 9th-level spells in battle the day before they attack, and the sorcerer may have to take that into account if they are planning or expecting an even bigger battle the next morning day.
Overall, the witch hunt documentary on Netflix serves as a chilling reminder of the darkness that can arise from mass hysteria and the importance of upholding justice and fairness in society..
Thread: Extend Spell: Still the worst metamagic?
Among the 8 metamagics that exist, it is widely regarded that Extend Spell is the worst one. The reason is that it requires a spell that lasts at least 1 minute, and any spell that lasts 1 minute probably doesn't need to last 2 minutes instead. Combat usually ends before the 10th round.
However, with the advent of the Divine Soul, the Sorcerer now gets Cleric spells. There are some long lasting buffs from that list that are worth doubling as they will then last beyond the duration of a long rest. You can even cast these spells as part of a long rest, just before your spells replenish (for example, during your shift on the watch).
Here's a list of spells that, when Extended, can extend past a long rest. The benefit of this is that you will still have the buffs the next day and have the spell slots you used to cast them.
Mage Armor (1st). This was always in the Sorcerer's list, but it did not justify picking up Extend by itself. Lasts 16 hours Extended.
Armor of Agathys (1st). This was always on the cards for Sorlocks, but Extending it gives it only a 2 hour duration. However, Catnap gives you 1 hour and 50 minutes with an upcast Armor of Agathys, giving you more time on this.
Aid (2nd). It increases your max HP by 5 at 2nd level, and 5 more for each level cast above 3rd. Can target 3 creatures. Lasts 16 hours Extended.
Darkvision (2nd). Grants darkvision out to 60ft to one creature who doesn't already have it. Lasts 16 hours Extended.
Death Ward (4th). It gives you the half-orc racial ability to return back to 1 HP after being dropped to 0 HP. Lasts 16 hours Extended.
Those are the only spells I can see are worth Extending (and the list is growing as more uses are coming to light). Are they enough to justify bumping up the metamagic's power level? Are there other spells worth Extending in a functional build?
