Posted Sep 6, 2024"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."

Posted Sep 14, 2024I knew this would be a warlock spell, but who would have guessed that warlocks could use it as well as warlocks?!

Posted Sep 24, 2024I'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?

Posted Oct 16, 2024All 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.

Posted Jun 2, 2025If you somehow have a Charisma score of 30, and you're level 17+, and you have Agonizing Blast for this spell, then 62 is the average damage, yes. The actual damage range would be between 44 and 80.
Though if you've managed to get your Charisma all the way up to 30, there are probably more interesting things you can do than spam Eldritch Blast.

Posted Jun 5, 2025Little known fact but Warlocks actually can do things other than cast Eldritch Blast with their action.

Posted Jun 5, 2025Are there more interesting things to do than spam Eldritch blast? Yes. Are there more fun things to do than spam Eldritch blast? No. Also even with 20 CHA you deal 42 damage average which is really good for a Cantrip. To compare a Fighter with a +3 2 handed weapon and 20 STR does an average of 58 damage. You get close to Fighter damage while still getting spell slots. Also depending on Sub Class you can boost that even more. You can get an extra 6 damage with Genie subclass (also you get to pick Wish as your level 9 spell but that's not the point).
