D&D Combo: The Pressure Cooker

I love this combo.

It’s fairly easy to set up, Druid and cleric, or just one nature domain cleric.

Very few enemies can actually leave the area, and even if they do, just have the warlock use their repelling blast invocation to push them back in.

The Dm after this session: You're now fighting the flying squid, the flying snake, the flying monkeys, and the flying Dinosaurs.

[Nazo-kage]

I’m surprise the combo called “pressure cooker“ didn’t have ‘heat metal’ in its configuration.

[MonkeyDM]

Nothing is wrong with my hand

Edit: Sickening Radiance is NOT a cleric spell, so replace the cleric with a wizard, sorcerer or warlock. Or as a single character it can be done on an Archfey Warlock.

You could also cast spike growth for an extra 2d4 damage and difficult terrain

[eliluttrell]

The players: You're looking kinda tired there buddy. Maybe you should just lay down.
Villain: You don't understand, I'm saving everyone.(Dies)
Players: BBEG is done for... loot him.
What's this weird book?

DM (Trying to keep a straightface): It's darkend pages and odd wrapping have no title written on them, however, you can see some magic runes written throughout its pages.
Party Wizard: I'll take it, I need some new spells.
Attunes to it.

DM: Charisma save.
(Opens block for the Book of Vile Darkness)

Man that seems like the perfect tpk method lol. As a DM I've been wanting to use vicious tactics but this would be too much lol.

[DracosDiabolis]

The druid smiles after the cleric casts its spell. And casts Spike Growrh into the same area.

Lmao

[Ninjapizza]

Me multi-classing as a druid and a cleric: ah yes, the perfect thing to add to my already OP arsenal

[loading]

and now you describe how the enemy slowly melts away in agony
and when the party loots the body they find a shopping list with "do it for them" written at the end

[kuhza-]

Sending this to one of my friends for our next campaign

[moosem]

Chronurgy Wizard can do the same thing. Arcane abeyance either wall of force or sickening radiance into a bead, use your familiar to use the bead to cast the spell, and the wizard does the other, the concentration is split between the wizard and familiar, then the only way they can get out is for you to lose concentration on the wall of force or to cast Disintegrate on the wall (I believe)

[justawooper.._.]

If you also have a creation bard for example with their dancing item from animating performance you can lower creatures speed by 10ft so if they have 30ft of movement they can't move

[metalgauntlet]

We had a cool combo we called Chernobyl. Our Bard used Wall of Force, our Sorcerer used Sickening Radiance in the center and our Druid would use Silence to prevent spells to escape.

[patmusx]

If you have a player with high movement and the mobile feat, this combo won't work as well on them but it's great if they can go in, knock the target prone, then get out.
(Assuming 40ft of movement and dash as a Bonus Action, that's 20ft the can cover in the Spike Growth and then exit)

[jedediahcoulbourne]

My favorite combo was the bowser maneuver. We took a Tortle (willing of course) and used Dragon's Breath and Enlarge, suddenly the horde of skelly bones was a pile of ashes

[GrimHeaperThe]

Nothing lives within 6 points of exhaustion.

[sharrant]

Sickening Radiance does not create difficult terrain. It can half a creature’s movement via the exhaustion effect, but that does not take effect until the second level of exhaustion.

[HelloThere.....]

Hit them with Sickening Radiance and cone of cold to both apply exhaustion and also slow them. Then just dash away once or twice and you're good.

[Timeward]

This seems like something that Goblin Slayer would pull off along with his party to take out a whole group of goblins while minimizing the risk.

[discipleofvecna]

Add for that someone with a pike and sentinel. Just runs around the edges poking enemies so they can't move at all, or locking them out if they try to leave.
