nooooooo they debuffed ice knife it was 2d6 piercing(now its one d10 piercing) whyyyyyyyyyyy
What do you mean? Ice Knife has the same description, word for word, as the 2014 version, excluding the description of upcasting.
i thaught ice knife was different i rrealise it wal always like this now
Still my favorite response to someone trying to shut down my casting with a Silence spell. No verbal component, fool!
Speaking of Silence, it's funny that the Cleric doesn't have any non-Verbal spells to cast on its own Silence spell. I imagine most Clerics with Magic Initiate (Wizard) will want Find Familiar, but I think taking Ice Knife in anticipation of Silence spells isn't a bad choice either. Plus, if you shoot an enemy caster with Ice Knife, they could take two separate instances of damage, potentially breaking their Concentration.
