Surcharge

Have you ever needed just a bit of stank on a big hit to finish off the BBEG, or have you ever wanted to make slapping down a peasant a more meaningful learning experience for the rest of the crowd? Well, now you can. For the low price of a cantrip spot and a sadistic streak, now you or a friend can add that last little bit of "eff you" that just yet may win the day.

a caster can add a D8 of force damage to any spell or attack. This effect is instantaneous and triggered even if the attack misses. If the attack that triggered this effect misses, Surcharge is wasted. If a saving throw is required and passed, Surcharge will do half damage or no damage if target has Evasion or similar ability, rounded down. The caster may choose to cast this on anything or anyone that is attempting an attack action or a damage dealing spell. However, if the recipient of the spell is not an ally, an attack roll must be made. If it misses, the spell is wasted.

Damage die increases to 1D10 at 5th level, 1D12 at 10th level, 2D10 at 15th level, and 2D12 at 20th level.
