Booming blade is kind of a weird spell, in that it doesn’t fit a lot of conventions. Your base damage doesn’t the spell is actually the damage done by the weapon you make the attack with. But I just did some checking, and it doesn’t seem possible to add it to the attacks section, which is unusual. It does show up under spells, though. In terms of,dice rolling, a lot of special cases for dice (like additional dice and damage types) haven’t been implemented yet. Also note that for a 1st level,character, booming blade does additional damage only if the target willingly moves after the hit.

i have 15 intelligence, i took booming blade & its showing no damage on my sheet as well as when i roll. confusingis
is something not cohesive in my build or is it a bug?
