Notes

  • The benefits of Eldritch Invocations, such as Agonising Blast or Repelling Blast, are applied to each beam.
    • While Repelling Blast applies to each beam, it can only knock back a creature once per cast.
  • A target afflicted by Hex will take additional 1d6Damage TypesNecrotic damage from each beam.
  • 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.
