School Fit
The school of Abjuration is built around three verbs: prevent, dispel, banish. Every Abjuration spell is one of those three at different scales. What lands Beacon of Hope here is straightforward — the spell ends, prevents, or absorbs an effect that would otherwise land. The 3rd-level slot is one of the most-used by mid-tier 2.
Class Fit
- Cleric: Domain-bonus spells fill some of the Cleric's prep automatically; check whether the chosen Domain already grants Beacon of Hope before manual prepping. The 30-foot range on Beacon of Hope leaves room for the caster to stay in the back line.
