Notes
- Hex damage is applied multiple times for multiple successful Attack Rolls. Example scenarios:
- Warlock hits the target with a melee or ranged weapon attack: additional 1d6Necrotic.
- Level 1 Warlock casts
Eldritch Blast and hits the target: additional 1d6Necrotic. - Level 5 Warlock casts Eldritch Blast and hits the target with both rays: additional 2d6Necrotic, for hitting twice.
- Level 3 Warlock casts
Scorching Ray and hits the target with all three rays: additional 3d6Necrotic, for hitting three times. - Level 5 Warlock casts Scorching Ray and hits the target with all four rays: additional 4d6Necrotic, for hitting four times.
- Warlock hits the target with a melee or ranged weapon attack: additional 1d6
- Hex is only triggered by hitting the target with a successful Attack Roll, and not by other sources of damage. Example scenarios:
- Warlock casts
Magic Missile (which always hits): no additional damage from Hex. - Warlock casts
Fireball (which is a Saving Throw, not an Attack Roll): no additional damage from Hex.
- Warlock casts
- In Early Access Patch 9, there is a bugged interaction between Hex and the Eldritch Invocation
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 3 times, if both beams hit.
