Notes

  • Since Patch 6, Chain Lightning cannot be used with Metamagic: Twinned Spell Metamagic: Twinned Spell. However, this restriction does not apply to the version of Chain Lightning granted by Markoheshkir.
  • Characters under the effects of an Elixir of Bloodlust can use this spell to gain an additional action point by targeting the spell at an object. When the object "dies" and a living creature is then hit by the same effect, the game gives you an additional action for killing an enemy, as per the Elixir. This also works with Arrow of Many Targets.
  • The DC of the saving throw to reduce damage from the lightning chains uses the spellcasting modifier of the most recently acquired spellcasting class rather than the spellcasting modifier that was used for the initial casting of Chain Lightning.
