So I'm familiar with DOS: EE and the element mechanics of combat, but I'm not sure if that applies to DnD 5e.

But last night I threw a fireball cantrip at a group of goblins standing in grease, and what do you know but the whole gang go up in flames!

Does anyone know of other great spell or skill combinations you can use, especially to deal with groups?

Also what are your go-to combat setups?

I'm currently running a Druid, Cleric, Warlock, Fighter so if you can think of combinations from those classes that would be great too.

Enlarge/reduce an enemy. Have your fighter pick them up and use them as a weapon on the other enemies. Bonus if you have tavern brawler.

And when your run out of enemies to hit with the one you're holding? Hit the floor with it. If the floor is on fire they take bludgeoning and fire damage.

Good times.

Haven't tried grabbing or throwing enemies, but if a chasm or big fall is available, I'm guessing you could yeet them when you're done with them?

Yes! But then you cannot loot them.

My only complaint is I can't have a firey, acid soaked floor that is also being electrocuted all at once.
