I've been playing Wild Magic barbarian for a while, having a pretty good time, but was wondering something:
"When you are imperiled during your rage, the magic within you can lash out; immediately after you take damage or fail a saving throw while raging, you can use your reaction to roll on the Wild Magic table and immediately produce the effect rolled. This effect replaces your current Wild Magic effect"
Does this mean that if you, for example, roll an 8 on the reaction roll you would make the attack immediately? I've seen people talk about the feature like all it does is reduce the randomness of the path allowing you to easier find a surge you want, but I have seen it interpreted both ways, so I just want clarification.
Yes, when Unstable Backlash is activated (by spending your reaction), whatever you roll happens automatically. So if you roll an 8, you can target a creature you can see within 30 feet of you and force it to make a save or take the damage and be blinded.

"Canon" is what's factual to D&D lore. "Cannon" is what you're going to be shot with if you keep getting the word wrong.
