My primary focus for Gunter is the ability to immediately light a wick. The abilities of this spell are numbered, but think of an illusionist or magician. PrestidigitationДЇinally, IвЂ™ll choose this simple cantrip for mischievous purposes. You can bet IвЂ™ll carry canisters of oil for this purpose, granting me an extra 5 damage to the burn. As a spell attack, this fire-blast dishes out 1d10 fire damage and ignites anything flammable it comes into contact with. Naturally, I picked Fire Bolt as my second cantrip. Fire BoltДЇor sure, IвЂ™ll need to be able to generate fire on command. For my purposes, itвЂ™s going to be a nice way to deliver a sizzling bomb. The idea with this spell is to be able to manipulate traps, magical items or hidden levers. Mage Hand will allow me to generate two ethereal hands that are able to expand way past me. Choose spells and cantrips focused around explosions (and escaping them).ДЄs usual, IвЂ™ll need a variety of spells: a few explosive, a few tricky. Not to mention, itвЂ™ll save my scrawny ass when something wants to eat me, which kind of happens to goblins. This ability will add to my вЂњtricksyвЂќ nature as a goblin. Soon enough, IвЂ™ll be popping off 5 and 6 extra damage.ДЄs a bonus action, IвЂ™ll be able to disengage or hide. I will have to take a short or long rest in between uses, so it wonвЂ™t be impressive at first. So, even at level one, I can pop off a little extra damage.

This racial ability gives me bonus damage to my attack or spell equal to my level. Being little, IвЂ™ll arm myself with a ranged weapon, maybe even a firearm to go with my bombs.ДЄs a goblin, IвЂ™ll also gain Darkvision, Fury of the Small and Nimble Escape.Дarkvision is fairly self-explanatory, giving me 30 feet of sight in the dark. I can place my natural high score in Intelligence, then allow my racial bonus to boost a moderate Dexterity score. Therefore, IвЂ™ll keep my best two scores in Dexterity and Intelligence. Hobgoblins lean toward battle mages, with the ability to wield martial weapons and wear light armor, but the character IвЂ™m going for is a little, green pyromaniac. Sure, it isnвЂ™t built racially for wizardry and I might have chosen a Hobgoblin (+1 Intelligence) instead, but theme matters here. Goblins receive a +2 bonus to Dexterity and +1 to Constitution.

There are a few noteworthy elements about goblins to remember. Each creature within the radius of the bomb must make a Dexterity save, which means they better dive out of the way. My lowest roll with 3d6 is 3, while my lowest with a d12 is 1. In my opinion, this a better roll than 1d12. However, IвЂ™ll need my DM to be on board.Д«ombs deal 3d6 damage to everything within a 5-foot range. Using my particular wizard school, I hope to be able to make some of these implements on the fly. Or, of course, I can simply purchase a few (for quite a bit of money, usually). A few notes about 5e bombs.ДЄs far as bombs go, IвЂ™ll need a couple of components: at least a pound of iron, an explosive ingredient and a wick of some sort. Therefore, in the spirit of goblins and chaos, IвЂ™ve created Gunther, goblin bomb wizard. Often, these little pyromaniacs are equipped with something explosive. In this game, goblins are berserkers with no expectation of living through the battle. My color is red, the element of chaos and fire and geological forces-home to the goblins. The spells from each of the five colors have thematic and tactical meaning, so each color has a unique strategy and source of mana. If youвЂ™ve never played, Magic the Gathering is a strategy card game based around the concept of battling wizards. Personally, IвЂ™m a huge Magic the Gathering fan.

Choose spells and cantrips focused around explosions (and escaping them).

As far as Dungeons and Dragons 5e bombs are concerned, a goblin wizard could be the right character:
