Is there anything in the rules that says Elemental Affinity cannot stack with The new 2024 Agonizing Blast?
For Example, could I have my CHR modifier applied to Firebolt or Green Flame Blade twice now?
I am also curious
They stack.
Fire Bolt is not a Warlock spell in 5.5e, so it can't have Agonizing Blast applied to it. Poison Spray and Thunderclap are your only warlock cantrips that have damage types boostable by both Elemental Affinity and Agonizing blast. :(
Warlocks with the Pact of the Tome invocation can access any cantrip in the game and have it count as a Warlock cantrip right from level 1, so it is worth considering how Agonizing Blast would apply to cantrips that aren't normally on the Warlock list.
With that in mind, 5.5e cantrips you can apply both Agonizing Blast and Elemental Affinity to include Acid Splash, Fire Bolt, Poison Spray, Produce Flame, Ray of Frost, Shocking Grasp, Sorcerous Burst (if you choose a valid damage type), and Thunderclap.
Reaching back into the past, the 5e-only spells Create Bonfire, Green-Flame Blade (just the fire damage), Lightning Lure, and Primal Savagery could also benefit from both.

quick question, does it apply to all the targets there? because I can think of many shinaigains with this. number one being somehow increasing the radius to instakill an entire swarm.
hello there! I have too many ideas. I am very impatient and I love splatoon and obssess over any minmax. I'm sorry if anything I post is unkind or offends you. I'm well aware that I am very weird and I like it that way! call me adam or atomic. my mottos:
goal number 1: be funny in all ways possible
goal number 2: be nice in all ways possible
goal number 3: have as much fun in life as you can!
Yes, it does. Elemental Affinity only applies to one damage roll of a spell, but with area-of-effect spells like Acid Splash you roll one damage roll for all affected targets. I'm not sure there's any way to increase the radius of the area of effect, though.

I think circle magic is the only way currently. I'm curious what all this has to do with sorcerers, though...
I don't even think you could do it with Circle Magic in this scenario, because Circle Magic requires the spell to be cast using a spell slot, and Agonizing Blast only applies to cantrips.
Elemental Affinity is a feature from the Draconic Sorcery subclass, so I assume OP was talking about a hypothetical multiclass Sorcerer/Warlock.

Oh, ha! I was thinking of Elemental Adept! Ignore me ;).
Honestly, I get those two things confused all the time, I had to look it up to make sure.
