A beam of crackling energy streaks toward a creature within range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 1d10 force damage.
The spell creates more than one beam when you reach higher levels: two beams at 5th level, three beams at 11th level, and four beams at 17th level. You can direct the beams at the same target or at different ones. Make a separate attack roll for each beam.

Posted Jun 17, 2018Always laugh with this spell. We've used this spell creatively from shooting Glarg in the balls to combining it with an attack on an orc.

Posted Nov 30, 2018So with agonizing blast invocation at 17th level and 20 CHA (+5)...
4 different beams of force damage attack, with 6-15 damage? Yowza.
And no saving throws for adding repelling blast/grasp of hadar invocation push/pull effects.

Posted Dec 3, 2018If you wanna go the extra mile (and maybe infuriate your DM), multiclass sorcerer and use metamagic to twin/quicken the cantrip to send 8 beams and become an Eldritch Blasting machine-gun

Posted Dec 7, 2018Haha. 48-120 (84) damage for the cost of two sorcery points. Love it. Sorcerer/Bard/Warlock builds are my favorite, too.

Posted Dec 16, 2018So, if a warlock has Advantage and uses it to cast Eldritch Blast at a level where it has multiple beams, do the individual attack rolls for each beam get to be rolled twice or just one of them?

Posted Dec 29, 2018It depends on the type of advantage. Some spells or class features grant advantage only on the next attack roll (for instance, the Fighter Battlemaster's Distracting Strike battle manoeuvre), so in that case you would roll twice only for the first blast. Other spells (and possibly class features, I don’t recall right now) grant advantage for an entire turn or a period of time (like Faerie Fire), so in that case you will be able to roll twice for all of your blasts.

Posted Jan 15, 2019Twin/quicken for levels 1-4, then quicken only from 5+. Quicken fights for Bonus Action with other warlock spells and abilities like Hex/Hexblade’s Curse, but is very powerful if you have either up.

Posted Mar 22, 2019Fun fact: if you take both the Spell Sniper feat, and the warlock invocation Eldritch Spear, this cantrip can have a total range of 600 feet.

Posted May 15, 2019It's better then firebolt because Force is less often resisted then fire. Also making separate attacks for each beam makes it more reliable damage. However the best part of Eldritch Blast is the innovations that add extra damage and forced movement to the cantrip and those picking up via magic initiate miss out on that.

Posted Jul 5, 2019Are you even able to see that far away? Or even 600 feet away? How would that work in combat.
