At higher levels
Unlike other cantrips whose damage increases at certain character levels, Eldritch Blast, instead, creates multiple beams at higher levels: 1d10 (1~10) Force per ray - 2 beams at character level 5
- 3 beams at character level 10
Attack roll and is affected by the selected Eldritch Invocations (see notes for further details). How to learn
Classes:
- Class Level 1: Warlock
- Class Level 6: College of Lore (via Magical Secrets)
- Class Level 10: Bard (via Magical Secrets)
Notes
- The benefits of
Potent Robe, various effects like Lightning Charges, and Eldritch Invocations, such as 
or 
, are applied to each beam.
- While applies to each beam, it can only knock back a creature once per cast.
- While
- A target afflicted by
will take additional 1d6
Necrotic damage from each beam. - Can be subject to Counterspell.
- When interacting with effects like
and dealing multiple attacks to the same creature, assuming the 1st attack was sufficient to 
the target the 2nd attack appears to apply before the activates, which means that after 2 attacks the target would lose the but remain with 1HP. If the initial attack would have 3 applications then the target would be on 1st attack and again on 3rd attack. In case of Avatars it means that, whilst having a 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 
and 
(as of 4.1.1.3669438). - The incantation for Eldritch Blast is Dolor, Latin for "pain/anguish".
