#### Notes
- Without determining a target's AC & saving throws, a level 5 cleric using spirit guardians & toll the dead deals on average 26.5 damage if both saves are failed.
 With one turn of set up, a level 5 Order of The Mageocracy inquisitor can use one class resource, a 1st level spell slot, & a 2nd level spell slot. (Bane, shadowblade, bespell weapon) Even then the average DPR only beats the cleric by 2.5 damage. Granted, with the right feats & the justice judgement you will have more consistent damage against enemies with decent Wisdom saves.
