Building a caster who never rolls to hit
Hi all. Hopefully this has not be answered before as I couldn't think of a way to search for it in any other way than I did...
Anyway! So I have a D&D group that uses the "Critical Failure" variant rules. I don't want to be a spoil sport as the group seems to really like it, but I don't and since we're starting a new campaign shortly I want to build a character that basically does not interact with this mechanic. Has anyone built a character like this? Any tips?

That's literally all spellcasters. It's really easy to avoid to-hit spells, the only exception is warlock with eldritch blasts
Yeah that's kind of what I was seeing, just wanted to know if there were some that were more naturally better at it than others.
Well, sorcerers are able to use metamagic to kind of specialize in certain things. So while they are less versatile than a Wizard or Druid they tend to be better at the thing they focus on.
For example with heightened and twin you can maximize your save spells and buff potential. This would really pull you away from needing to make any d20 rolls during combat. Make it Divine Soul and you have access to some really good AoE and buff spells that you normally wouldn't have.
