You hurl a beam of crackling energy. Make a ranged spell attack against one creature or object in range. On a hit, the target takes 1d10 Force damage.
Cantrip Upgrade. The spell creates two beams at level 5, three beams at level 11, and four beams at level 17. You can direct the beams at the same target or at different ones. Make a separate attack roll for each beam.
I’m glad it’s available for both the warlock and the warlock
Always good to have those guys included
Ooh, hey! You can target Objects now!
"Creature or object" Hooray!
No more of this weirdness: "I shoot eldritch blast at the crossbow trap" "Sorry, that's an object, so you can't." "Fine, from now on I will eldritch blast every treasure chest we find and if it works that means the chest is a creature such as a mimic."
I was so scared that it was only for warlock, but then i found out that it was for warlock warlock and now all my fears are gone
I knew this would be a warlock spell, but who would have guessed that warlocks could use it as well as warlocks?!
I'm kinda wondering how agonizing blast works with this. The wording is a bit different. Do you add your CHA into just one of the blasts or all of them?
All of them. This is true in both the 2014 rules and the 2024 rules.
Agonizing Blast (2014) says "add your Charisma modifier to the damage it deals on a hit", so every beam that hits deals the extra damage.
Agonizing Blast (2024) says "you can add your Charisma modifier to that spell's damage rolls". The use of "rolls", plural, means that it does the extra damage on every damage roll the spell causes.
