* There is a bug when using eldritch blast along with either [[Agonising Blast]] or [[Hex]], and having lightning charges. When damage is applied, [[Agonising Blast]] and [[Hex]] will apply their damage twice on a single beam, rather than once

* Whilst being listed as several attacks, if targeting one character, it seems like it's technically delivered as a single attack, therefore effects like [[Death Ward]] on a target will trigger at the end of all attacks, therefore making it possible to down a target, apply one more attack after that but still have them rise with 1HP even through technically the effect of the [[Death Ward]] should have been applied before the last attack. This also results in [[Concentration]] checks being made several times, even if the first one failed. This effect is also observed on [[Magic Missile]].
* When interacting with effects like [[Death Ward]] and dealing multiple attacks to the same creature, assuming the 1st attack was sufficient to [[Downed_(Condition)|down]] the target the 2nd attack appears to apply before the [[Death Ward]] activates, which means that after 2 attacks the target would lose the [[Death Ward]] but remain with 1HP. If the initial attack would have 3 applications then the target would be [[Downed_(Condition)|downed]] on 1st attack and again on 3rd attack. In case of Avatars it means that, whilst having a [[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]] and [[Scorching Ray]].
