Damage/Effect
Lightning
You send a bolt of electricity towards a target that jumps to other enemies in the area. Make a ranged spell attack against a creature in range. On a hit, the target takes 1d4 lightning damage. You may then deal an additional 1d4 damage to either the original target, or to a creature within 10 feet of the target that must then make a dexterity saving throw to avoid the damage.
The additional damage damage increases when you reach 5th level (2d4), 11th level (3d4) and 17th level (4d4). This damage may be spread however you wish between creatures in range, hitting up to 5 creatures at 17th level. However, no matter how the additional dice are distributed, no creature can suffer more d4's than the original target.

Posted Jul 27, 2020I understand what this spells was trying to do but the wording is just not right. It is 2d4 damage dealt between 1 or 2 creatures. The damage goes up every level by a 1d4 allowing it to hit another target.
Example: At 5th level the total damage goes up to 3d4 dealt between up to 3 creatures.
By the way, this spell is very weak for a cantrip that scales. It should be going up by 2d4 at 5th(4d4), 11th(6d4), and 17th(8d4) level.
Still, i like the idea.
