If you have two spellcasters in your party and are in a fight where you won't need other concentration spells this cantrip and 2nd or 5th level spell are a good option. You can have one person target an enemy with Hold Person/Monster then the other cast Create Bonfire in its space. With the automatic DEX save fails from being paralyzed, you can, depending on your level, do between 10d8 and 40d8 over the course of a minute.
Well if you can hold the target in place long enough. They can repeat the save every turn.
Personally I would combine Hold Person/Monster with a paladin for those insane multiattack autocrits. Grab polearm master for a bonus action attack too and smite crit 3 times in a single turn. If they remain paralyzed next turn, then you can just do the same again. If you are a sorcerer yourself, you can Quicken booming blade for an auto crit too and next turn hit twice with BB and autocrit if they are still paralyzed.
Or go Eldritch Knight and try to get a Headband of Intellect for 19 int and team up with a pally to wreck them up. 😁
Well if you can hold the target in place long enough.
Yea - if they could kindly fail a save vs. Bane first, right? But then, now we're coordinating the efforts of three people, just to get more crits. Four, if we hire a project manager also.
