      To be fair, player characters at level 17+ are basically walking deities, regardless of class.

        I mean if I was a dragon that failed to kill a bard for 11 minutes I’d take care of it myself.

            A cantrip that’s as effective as “power word kill” on mundane folk? Use 55 times to kill a dragon? How did I miss this?

            As a DM, I’d have to implement a house rule that every such insult must be unique, as it is magically bound to the target at that distinct moment in time. And that goes for failures as well as successes: each use burns that phrase forever. At the very least this goes if used repeatedly against the same target. Besides, a good bard should be able to cook up fresh material.

                          Bards aren’t just “a talented musician” they literally use magic. They’re basically wizards that went the liberal arts path in college.

                            Plot twist, the dragon accepts your challenge and destroys you with 800 years worth of yo mama jokes.

                                It’s odd saying it does decent damage. It’s the least damaging cantrip. Not hating on it, but it’s odd to say that lol.

                                  This is an absolutely insane take. Vicious Mockery is the the least damaging cantrip (or like bottom three). Further, it’s a cantrip, something players are supposed to be able to easily without resource consumption. Expecting a player to come up with unique insults every time they cast this is stupid and exhausting. Also, the reason it’s “as effective as power word kill on common folk” is because common folk are weak and meant to weak. They’re not heroes.

                                  Spell casters using cantrips is akin to fighters making normal attacks, swinging a sword.

                                    I can’t imagine surviving 55 rounds of combat against a dragon. Are people thinking this is a video game or something where you can just simply not take damage from a dragon if you’re skilled enough or something?

                                        Ermmm actually ☝️🤓 you don’t roll when casting Vicious Mockery, the target does, so the best case scenario for the caster would be the target rolling a natural 1.
