| * '''Hex''' damage is applied multiple times for multiple successful {{Attack Roll}}s. Example scenarios:
| |
| ** Warlock hits the target with a melee or ranged weapon attack: additional {{DamageText|1d6|Necrotic}}.
| |
| ** Level 1 Warlock casts {{SmallIcon|Eldritch Blast Icon.png}} [[Eldritch Blast]] and hits the target: additional {{DamageText|1d6|Necrotic}}.
| |
| ** Level 5 Warlock casts {{SmallIcon|Eldritch Blast Icon.png}} [[Eldritch Blast]] and hits the target with '''both''' rays: additional {{DamageText|2d6|Necrotic}}, for hitting twice.
| |
| ** Level 3 Warlock casts {{SmallIcon|Scorching Ray Icon.png}} [[Scorching Ray]] and hits the target with '''all three rays''': additional {{DamageText|3d6|Necrotic}}, for hitting three times.
| |
| ** Level 5 Warlock casts {{SmallIcon|Scorching Ray Icon.png}} [[Scorching Ray]] and hits the target with '''all four rays''': additional {{DamageText|4d6|Necrotic}}, for hitting four times.
| |
| * '''Hex''' is only triggered by hitting the target with a successful [[Attack Roll]], and not by other sources of damage. Example scenarios:
| |
| ** Warlock casts {{SmallIcon|Magic Missile Icon.png}} [[Magic Missile]] (which does not require [[Attack Roll]]s): no additional damage from '''Hex'''.
| |
| ** Warlock casts {{SmallIcon|Fireball Icon.png}} [[Fireball]] (which is a [[Saving Throw]], not an Attack Roll): no additional damage from '''Hex'''.
| |
| * In Early Access Patch 9, there is a bugged interaction between '''Hex''' and the [[Eldritch Invocation]] {{SmallIcon|Agonizing Blast Icon.png}} '''Agonising Blast''', which causes '''Agonising Blast''' bonus damage to be applied an extra time for each instance of '''Hex''' damage.
| |
| ** In the case of a level 5 Warlock with two Eldritch Blast beams, this means Agonising Blast damage will be applied a total of '''4 times''', if both beams hit: once for each beam, and once for each instance of Hex damage.
