With the right eldrich blast build who needs spell slots.
Booming blade can get nasty too, but requires a lot more work for spacing/movement.
Booming Blade Swashbuckler, my beloved
Coffeelock was ridiculous shenanigans.
“And what you have are hit points, and the hope that before your hit points are empty, our spells slots have run out”
Imagine playing a wizard that cares about hit points.

Well technically the barbarian can only rage for a limited time without having to rest too (although he’s a lot more dangerous without rage than a caster without spells is). Would a rogue have no limited resource other than hitpoints?
At levels above 17 the Barbarian can rage for a full hour straight, which is 600 rounds. That rage is out lasting the spell slots

Hey. One hour combat? Have you played D&D? 🤣
With a full party of casters? One hour IC, a couple years OOC.
Let’s not forget new caster players. That maneuver costs decades.
Rogue assassin archer can run away while shooting you. Being able to dash as a bonus action means they’ll outrun you most of the time. Add in the sharpshooter feat, and they can ignore 1/2 and 3/4 cover. Any time they can get sneak attack means they can just do stupid amounts of damage.
Depends on the subclass I guess, my arcane trickster can stab kidneys forever but can’t misty step out of danger all day, cunning action dash can get you out of most spots though.
Bear totem barbarian bbegs are the bane of every party. Fireball? So that’s 26 damage… Halved.
“And halved again…” reveals Teifling horns
Resistance doesn’t stack, so it’s only halved once.
Ah, fair point. Didn’t realize. Stacking resistance has never come up at my table, so i never had reason to figure that out.
So I’m only familiar with D&D in a general sense… is there a reason the mage party can’t just, like, levitate the barbarian? Seems like then you’d have a very angry, very sturdy BBEG balloon to dispose with as you like.
