Another old shitpost I don't think I posted anywhere.

Overlaid haphazardly over a fucking mess of 13 skeleton PNGs: Unsure ow to use your 9th level spell slot? Decision fatigue getting you down? Try animating 13 skeletons. Just 13 skeletons. That's 13 attacks every turn. (At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level of higher, you animate or reassert control over two additional undead creatures for each slot level above 3rd.) You will certainly not regret animating 13 skeletons.

"I wish for an army of skeletons!"

"Granted! Your army of 13 skeletons stands up from the battlefield..."

    This is why I instead opt to carry scrolls of damn near every spell 8th level or lower.

    It's a little bootleg compared to a real Wish, but in average circumstances I can give Batman a run for his money on being prepared for literally any eventuality.

    Hmm, that works, but only for spells in your class list. That won't allow you to cast legend lore as a wizard, for instance

    RAW, yeah, you're right unfortunately. Our DM lets us make the DC check to cast a non-class scroll just like you'd make if you cast one too high level for you. Web searching tells me this is a popular homebrew rule.

    I may be making him regret that decision somewhat.

    Ah, that's the risky use of Wish though. It comes with a chance of losing the spell forever.
