Notes

  • The benefits of Eldritch Invocations, such as Agonising Blast Agonising Blast or Repelling Blast Repelling Blast, are applied to each beam.
    • While Repelling Blast Repelling Blast applies to each beam, it can only knock back a creature once per cast.
  • A target afflicted by Hex Hex will take additional 1d6Damage TypesNecrotic damage from each beam.
  • There is a bug when using eldritch blast along with either Agonising Blast Agonising Blast or Hex Hex, and having lightning charges. When damage is applied, Agonising Blast Agonising Blast and Hex Hex will apply their damage twice on a single beam, rather than once
  • When interacting with effects like Death Ward Death Ward and dealing multiple attacks to the same creature, assuming the 1st attack was sufficient to down down the target the 2nd attack appears to apply before the Death Ward Death Ward activates, which means that after 2 attacks the target would lose the Death Ward Death Ward but remain with 1HP. If the initial attack would have 3 applications then the target would be downed downed on 1st attack and again on 3rd attack. In case of Avatars it means that, whilst having a Death Ward Death Ward applied, they would need to receive 6 attack applications to fully die: 2 to break down the ward, 1 to get downed and 3 more to fail 3 Death Saves. This effect seems to apply to all multi-application attacks, like Magic Missile Magic Missile and Scorching Ray Scorching Ray (as of 4.1.1.3669438).
