You create three glowing darts of magical force. Each dart strikes a creature of your choice that you can see within range. A dart deals 1d4 + 1 Force damage to its target. The darts all strike simultaneously, and you can direct them to hit one creature or several.
Using a Higher-Level Spell Slot. The spell creates one more dart for each spell slot level above 1.
Hmm I wonder how the ruling willbe ????
Crazy that they didn't clarify if each dart is meant to be individual damage or a single instance, especially for the purposes of concentration and death saving throws.
Pretty sure they did with the use of "a dart" in the wording. It's referring to a singular dart, whereas the next sentence they use "the darts."
Not exactly crystal clear but I'm pretty sure this settles that each dart should be rolled individually.
This description is vague at best. The new PHB states: (Damage against multiple targets) "damaging effect that forces two or more targest to make saving throws against it at the same time, roll the damage once for all targets". There is neither save nor hitroll?
Curious to see where this one will go. I suspect Evoker's & Scribes won't be able to utilize is as before. Wether they will need, I haven't formed an opinion on yet.
The one! The only!
So casting this using a 9th Level Slot would mean you are firing 12 missiles for 12d4+12 Force Damage, so you'd be dealing somewhere between 24 to 52 Force Damage if I'm reading the spell description right, that doesn't include any bonuses from your primary stat for spellcasting.
