Either. If you hit the enemy it effects the ground they are standing on as well but you can also target the ground so long as the spell doesn’t specify creature(like Sacred Flame).

But, but … the loot.

Sanctuary has had a pretty big buff from the Table Top, from “Wis Save to Attack Target” to “Can’t Attack Target”. It’s so good in fact it has a permanent preperation slot on Shadowheart alongside Command, Guiding Bolt, and Healing Word.

Not really an environmental thing but Hunger of Hadar(1/2 Movement & DOT) + Plant Growth (1/4 Movement) is basically a death trap covering a massive area for anything without Freedom of Movement.

Just be careful of candles otherwise your Plant Growth will turn into a massive fire ground hazard rather than Difficult Terrain.

MC: GOO Bladelock 6/Paladin 6 - You need a frontliner and that comp noticeably doesn’t have one.

Shadowheart: Light or Tempest Cleric 11/Druid 1 - Druid lvl adds a ton of spells, Shillelagh, and only delays progression by one lvl. Polymorph the defining spell that made Trickery domain was pretty severely nerfed in game so you will want to change her subclass.

Gale: Conjuration Wizard 12 - Wizards are great and Benign Transportation is super handy.

Astarion: Thief Rogue 3/Swords Bard 7 - Sharpshooter Duel-wield Hand-crossbows. It’s a Machinegun. Plus you end up with a ton skills and Expertise.

This is typically handled by flairs on game specific subreddits pretty handily. I think they are supported on Feddiverse.

I swap party members in and out a lot, mostly for story reasons, but here is how I built them:

• MC: Ancients Paladin 7/Swords Bard 5 - Polearm Master, Sentinel - Lockdown Tank/Support
• Karlach: Wolf Wildheart Barbarian 8/Thief Rogue 4 - Great Weapon Master, Tavern Brawler - Heavy Weapon Beatdown, Advantage Generator, Skill Monkey - MVP build
• Astarion: Thief Rogue 3/Swords Bard 7 - Sharpshooter - Skill Monkey, Machinegun - MVP build
• Gale: Conjuration Wizard 12 - Utility, Control, Haste-bot
• Lae’zel: Eldritch Knight Fighter 11/Rogue 1 - Tavern Brawler, Sentinel - Gith Dragoon - MVP build
• Shadowheart: Light Cleric 11/Druid 1 - Blaster, Support
• Wyll: Fiend Warlock 6/Vengence Paladin 6 - SMITE
• Halsin: Moon Druid 10/Monk 2 - Wildshape Tank
• Jaheira: Land Druid 12 - Blaster, Control
• Minsc: Gloomstalker Ranger 4/Bear Wildheart Barbarian 8 - Tavern Brawler - Improvised Weapons Control Tank

Yes, but if you want the full Bhaalspawn experience you will want to start with the Dark Urge origin.

I won’t say any more than that to avoid spoilers.

Solasta is probably the closest for a 5e based system.

Solid UI for all of 5e’s base actions with popup menus for items and spells. It also has significantly better navigation for vertical movement/aim.

Larian changed Fast Hands to “you can make an additional bonus action”, which makes it pretty insane.
