It probably won’t scare your pursuers away, but if you’re sneaking around and make a noise that draws attention, that would be a good time to send a swarm of bees in the direction of an individual without attacking the individual. It’s also effective if you need to scare unsuspecting individuals away. So, bees?! is a solid spell as long as you’re not facing one of the many creatures resistant or immune to the poison damage type. A search on DnDBeyond yields 100 creatures are resistant to poison damage and 645 creatures are immune to poison damage while only 9 creatures are resistant to force damage and 5 creatures are immune to force damage. It does slightly more damage than eldritch blast (1d10 force damage), but many creatures are resistant to poison damage compared to force damage. This spell appears to be the poison version of an existing spell: eldritch blast. At higher levels, you can project multiple swarms of bees to irritate multiple enemies: 5th level (2 swarms), 11th level (3 swarms), and 17th level (4 swarms). If the creature fails a Constitution save, he or she takes 1d12 poison damage. Classes: Druid, Sorcerer, Warlock, WizardĬast bees?! to project a swarm of bees from the palm of your hand.
