Thanks I couldn't get it to work last time probably because I was editing a comment when I tried.

It doesn't affect Fire Elementals, it specifically says Water Elementals. And there's really no way the 5e system can specify what creatures do and do not have Water in them. Especially when they have more expansions coming out every so often to add monsters.

 

No SoullessMonk, it does affect fire elementals: "Constructs and undead aren’t affected" it says nothing about fire elementals and they could have at least wrote something along the lines of; Constructs, undead and other creatures that the DM rules do not contain water (such as fire elementals).

Anyways they specifically mention one kind of elemental: "plants and water elementals make this saving throw with disadvantage" so it seems unlikely that they completely overlooked fire elementals when they wrote this spell.

By the way how does the quote tool work?

 In the bottom right of a post there are a few buttons.

Edit (if it's your post), Report, Reply (sends a notification about the replied post), Quote (what you're looking for), and Multi-quote (when you want to quote from multiple pages).

I believe a sorcerer could get around it some what with sorcerer points but your allies would still take half damage if i'm not mistaken.

 

 evocation wizards say hi :D

We homebrewed it using the following definition:

"Water elementals, plant type creatures, blood-sucking creatures, and aquatic/amphibious creatures have disadvantage on this saving throw. Creatures that do not require moisture or blood aren't affected."

 This isn't an evocation spell, so they get nothing special on this

So what's up with this spell's tool-tip? I can't seem to get it to work.

Why do druids not get this? its literally effecting nature

 

 

Beyond 20

 

 

 

 

 

 This is literally a spell that druids would HATE.  It destroys an entire grove in a few seconds.  Druids don't learn this spell, they fight people who DO learn it.  The only druids that would have it are lichen liches that have gone mad.

Add exhaustion and it's quite excellent. 

Druids get blight though, and this spell is bascially just a stronger, aoe version of it. Druids are just as capable of destroying nature as they are at perserving it, and an evil druid (or a circle of spore druid) especially would totaly use the power of blight and decay against their enemies.

This is a beautiful spell for necromancers as it doesn't hurt your thralls

I would assume so

Technically yes, it's every creature.

Oh... i just realised its wilting, not writing

Yes

Giving this spell to a druid is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of in D&D.

There's plenty of reasons why a druid would legitimately want to destroy an area of plant life.  Perhaps there's a forest fire, and they need to dry out an area of growth so that they can back burn, as we do in real life.  Or perhaps they need to clear an area of diseased plant matter or some other harmful infestation.

Additionally, some plant creatures could be considered abominations, and need to be stopped.

Not all druids are good or neutral either.  An evil druid might find destroying the natural environment in a relatively small area a reasonable cost for also destroying the kids that keep stealing all the fruit from an entire orchard.  I mean, hey, he told them to get off his lawn!  If they didn't listen, it's on them.

Yes it would

Would this effect your allies?

 

 Yes, although you can generally cast these kinds of spells off center and avoid this

if your making an anti nature druid then this would be useful to take out food supplies to a kingdom

I remember this spell from 3.5e, it was DEVASTATING if you knew the right place to cast it. And wizards/sorcerers got this thing at level 8. Talking a max of 20d6 (or 20d8 to water elementals/plants) damage at 9th level, and as long as any additional creature was within 60ft of the initial targets, the spell would jump to the next person. DM had the BBEG of the game cast that in the middle of a city while we (the party) could only watch and then get blamed for the massacre.
