Some spells never made the cut into 5th edition… some spells never made the cut to 2nd edition! Let’s look at some old favorites and bring them up to 5e!
Bigby, the former apprentice of Mordenkainen, is best know for his Hand Spells, but what do we really know about him? Let take a Deep Dive into this powerful wizard and why he doesn’t get the credit he deserves.
Ah, the Kuo-Toa. Fish-like monstrous humanoids that dwell under the sea and worship an insanely named god… Blibdoolpoolp. And no, I didn’t make that up…
