Notes

  • There are two rolls involved with this spell: A spell Attack roll to determine if the 4d8Damage TypesLightning damage applies to the main target and a Dexterity saving throw to determine if the 2d8Damage TypesLightning burst damage is halved.
  • The hit chance shown in the preview when targeting the spell is for the saving throw rather than the attack roll.
  • The attack roll is not shown in the combat log. If you fail this roll, you will get no indication of why the primary 4d8Damage TypesLightning damage was not applied.
