We have just the single good usable spell,
and are lower level than the CV rating calls for.

Yes we are a better fit than most classes,
but it’s still not a great call.

I try to not use avoid against a big baddie, unless I have checked to see that their perception check is particularly low.
Still having nightmares about the Nightmare, where an attempt to avoid almost always fails.

Also your noting the vulnerability gives me hope. This is certainly NOT a hopeless scenario.
It is a bigger risk than I think prudent.

I think you are right, the only disadvantage to the radiant guided bolt spell is that it is considered to be ranged. It is a good choice for us!

It went much better than I feared.
Thank you for calming my nerves.
No sarcasm here, also ~
We are going to town, YAY!
Hot dinner, and clean towels for everyone!
