I am trying to make a homebrew spell but i cant make it do damage for some reason please help.

I can help you if you give me details.

I am trying to make a spell called firebolt flurry its a sixth level spell that allows you to cast 5 firebolts in an action and I cant make it do damage.

 Have you added the “damage” modifier? Can you post screenshots of what you did so we can help you? Or at least post a link to the homebrewer spell so a Moderator can look at it for you?

I have the same problem. I am trying to create a spell but I do not see how I add damage to it. I can not figure out how to add screenshots though sadly.

 When you say “add damage,” what exactly do you mean? Do you mean:

• You created a spell from a template and wish to increase the amount of damage it deals?
• You created a spell from a template and wish to add a second damage type to the spell?
• You are creating a spell from scratch and need to add the base damage it will deal to the spell?
• You are creating a spell from scratch and have added the base damage to the spell, but cannot figure out how to add level Scaling damage?
  • If it’s this last one, is the spell a Cantrip or a leveled spell?

The answer to the first 3 of those questions are similar, but the explanation I give will be a little different if I know what reference points you have in front of you. The answer to the fourth one will depend on your answer to the sub-question.

I am making one from scratch, but no, I was not able to add damage in the first place.

You have to “Add Modifier”

Modifier: Damage->Subtype: [Damage Type]->Dice Count: X->Die Type: dY

If you start with a cantrip template then change it to a lvl 1 or 2 will it still retain the damage increase by level?

Okay, I can add damage now. One more question, is it possible to add homebrew damage types?

 No. Only Cantrips can use “Character Level” as the HIGHER LEVEL SCALING TYPE, leveled spells must use either “Spell Scale” or “Spell Level.” The vast majority use Spell Scale, only a few use Spell Level.

 No.

How do I add higher level scaling? I checked the box but it doesn't add extra damage as the spell level increases.
