Thorn Whip + Flight + Halo of Spores

[elyktsorb]

So, if I fly 15 ft above someone. I can cast Thorn Whip on them for 1d8, then they get pulled into the range of my Halo of Spores, which I then use my reaction to deal 1d4 (or 2d4 when Symbiotic Entity is on) and then they fall 10ft and take a d6 of fall damage.

So potentially 1d8+2d4+1d6

Is this too cheesy? Or does that not work? I think it might not work with Halo of Spores, that might be based on them moving, not you moving them.

Thorn Whip only does a d6 IIRC. As to Halo of Spores, the trigger is moves within 10 feet or begins its turn there -- "moves" generally being defined as using movement and not forced movement.

[elyktsorb]

Your right, Thorn Whip is a d6, but I already figured out a way around it. Do the Thorn Whip Pull, then just move down 5 ft and they'll be in range of the halo when they start their turn, but you'll still be out of melee reach, then just fly up 5ft, and repeat.

Like your very own corpse yo-yo.

It's a good combo, but how do you fly?

Casting a Fly spell will take an action, and concentration.

This combo costs you 2 Actions, 1 Reaction, and 1 Wild Shape use, and it does a whole 12 damage on average if you both hit Thorn Whip AND they fail their Con save against Halo.

No, it's not cheesy. If anything it's a terrible way of spending 2 Actions, 1 Reaction, and 1 Wild Shape use

I've played a similar concept but with an artillerist. The fall damage is really secondary to the prone it provides or pulling them into hazards.

be a race with flight, I wouldn't be talking about this outside of 2nd lvl anyway
