D&D Context[]

  • Miko was able to avoid the spells because of her Monk Evasion class feature and high saving throws from being a Paladin.
  • "Epic-level" is anything beyond 20th. The standard Player's Handbook lacks rules for these levels.
  • Thor's Lightning is a Cleric spell that is a fictional game feature.
  • Fireball is a 3rd-level Wizard spell that explodes and deals damage in a radius.
