Notes

  • If the target dies before the spell ends, gain Reapply Hex Reapply Hex.
  • 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 1d6Damage TypesNecrotic.
    • Level 1 Warlock casts Eldritch Blast and hits the target: additional 1d6Damage TypesNecrotic.
    • Level 5 Warlock casts Eldritch Blast and hits the target with both rays: additional 2d6Damage TypesNecrotic, for hitting twice.
    • Level 3 Warlock casts Scorching Ray and hits the target with all three rays: additional 3d6Damage TypesNecrotic, for hitting three times.
    • Level 5 Warlock casts Scorching Ray and hits the target with all four rays: additional 4d6Damage TypesNecrotic, for hitting four times.
  • Hex is only triggered by hitting the target with a successful Attack Roll, and not by other sources of damage. Example scenarios:
  • 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 4 times, if both beams hit: once for each beam, and once for each instance of Hex damage.
