I am playing a low Int low Wis character in one campaign at the moment. I am RPing him as the kind of dipshit who is only right by accident, and loves giving fatherly advice. It's hilarious. (I got party and DM buyin before playing the ideas man as a complete idiot.)

I'm telling you, Molotov cocktails work. Any time I had a problem, and I threw a Molotov cocktail, boom! Right away, I had a different problem.

The dnd equivalent of a molotov is summon greater demon in this context. Summon it, let it kill the enemy you’re fighting, then you have to fight the demon you summoned instead

The dnd equivalent of a molotov

Sometimes the DnD equivalent to a molotov is just a molotov. You don't need spell slots to make things ~~better~~ bad in a different way.

I am aware of Fireball's area effect and I am casting it as intended.

This was how we ended up killing the BBEG of our last game. Warlock wasn't going to end the campaign without summoning a demon in an enclosed space, my wild magic barbarian had a lot of good rolls and didn't believe in death, and BBEG had such awful rolls (the DM showed us) that it was just a clusterfuck the BBEG was not prepared for. It was hilarious and weirdly more satisfying than an honorable fight. Also my barb died to the damn demon lmao

As my partner calls it "summon greater mistake" along with "summon lesser mistake"

u/Cube4Add5 Sorcerer Jan 11 '23

At least with summon lesser mistake they disappear when you end the spell

In all seriousness, how bad of an idea would this be to try with a character specifically designed for fighting demons?

Probably pretty good. You could do a hexblade/paladin multiclass to get you demon summoning and anti-demon spells/features such as the Oath of the Watchers/Ancients/Devotion channel divinities that can all turn fiends. Plus everyone knows how good hexblade/paladin is

And if you're very lucky, it happens in that order.

Personally I prefer a sack of uncontrolled skeletal rats.

Really brings new life to a party.

I would've imagined that the dnd equivalent of a molotov is a fireball

The delivery of that line was so, so good.
