* '''Fire bolt?''' does not have an attack roll and will always hit.
* The way this cantrip works, is that the target of the cantrip has to do a {{Saving Throw|dc=20}} that is not affected any bonuses or penalties. Most of the time the target will be hit by a normal [[Fire Bolt|fire bolt]], but if the target ''succeeds'' the saving throw they will instead be hit by a [[fireball]].
** This means that targeting something that can not roll for saving throws like the ground or an object, will always shoot a normal fire bolt.
** If the target succeeds the saving throw the combat log will not only show a compeletly wrong calculation but it will also say that the target failed it.
