biden blast

Was wondering. If a player were to double the maximum beams EB can produce starting at 2 at 1st level and 8 at 17th level. On average, would that be over powered? This includes the usual invocations.

Maybe make it once per action or turn to balance it out?

(I know about the multiclass warlock, Sorcerer, fighter multiclass combos)

I might yoink this onto my Artificer using the All-Purpose Tool feature. Could be useful

Can't legally be twinned above level 4, as after that it can hit multiple targets.

Question: Is there any official ruling on the timing of Eldritch Blast bolts after level 5?  Does the Warlock have to declare the target of each bolt before rolling, or can they fire one bolt, see the result, then select the target for the second bolt?  There's nothing in the spell description itself.

 Yes, there is. You can choose each target consecutively, or do them all at once. This was addressed in the Sage Advice Compendium (scroll down to "Spell Attacks") which says:

When casting a spell that affects multiple targets, such as scorching ray or eldritch blast , do I fire one ray or beam, determine the result, and fire again? Or do I have to choose all the targets before making any attack rolls?

Even though the duration of each of these spells is instantaneous, you choose the targets and resolve the attacks consecutively, not all at once. If you want, you can declare all your targets before making any attacks, but you would still roll separately for each attack (and damage, if appropriate).

A question for the DMs and experts please! If i am level 5+ and therefore using 2 beams per casting, if i were then to use sorcery points to the effect of quickened spell, do i gain an additional 2 blasts on the same target to reflect my level OR just a solitary bonus blast (ie 3 blasts in total) I need to know the extent of my battle spamming potential. Thanks!

 this didn't occur to me so thank you - still think its worth holding onto twinned for other sells in the arsenal though otherwise i'd drop it altogether

Twinned spell only works on spells that don't have multiple targets I thought

U cant twin eldritch blast, since ur able to target multiples objetives, or it will just twin 1 beam. But as u said u can quick it, and u can always get haste, so u can throw 12 beams :D

Scroll a few comments down and you’ll see I specify you can, it’s just between levels 1-4 that you can twin it while it only shoots one beam.

Haste doesn’t let you use the extra action to cast a spell in 5e. You could get 3 casts for 12 blasts in one turn though if your character had quicken spell and Action Surge.

Dolor!

 I once had a player that had a space hamster spellcaster sidekick and I let it have feats which equaled eldritch adept so at level 17 with a 20 in charisma it was like a Pokemon
