does agonizing blast apply to 2024 Bruce
0:03
Strike the Warlock Invocation Agonizing
0:06
Blast lets you add your charisma
0:08
modifier to the damage roll of one
0:11
cantrip of your choice one warlock
0:13
canrip specifically but there's some
0:15
question of where that applies so
0:19
obvious answers Eldrich Blast Firebolt
0:21
things like that the spell is what's
0:23
dealing the damage but there are some
0:25
weird kind of edge cases green Flame
0:27
Blade Booming Blade and True Strike
0:30
instead of directly dealing damage from
0:33
the cantrip those spells let you make an
0:35
attack and then you know you deal normal
0:37
damage as part of making that attack but
0:40
it is modified in some fashion so it's
0:44
honestly not clear if agonizing blast is
0:47
intended to apply to those cantrips so
0:51
in my opinion yes it would apply let me
0:54
walk you through my logic so True Strike
0:57
initially lets you change the damage
0:59
type to do either the spell's original
1:01
damage or radiant damage the weapon on
1:04
its own couldn't do radiant damage so it
1:06
makes sense that it is the spell's
1:09
damage similarly booming blade will deal
1:12
some sonic damage uh green flame blade
1:14
will deal some fire damage now it's
1:16
entirely possible that the the intent is
1:20
you don't get that bonus until the
1:22
spells start applying additional damage
1:24
at level five or maybe like on Booming
1:28
Blade maybe the bonus only applies to
1:29
the secondary damage we don't know for
1:31
sure i think the simplest and least
1:35
problematic interpretation is just you
1:37
apply the damage bonus to the initial
1:40
damage made as part of that weapon
1:42
attack but this is kind of conjecture
1:45
based on informed opinion this isn't an
1:47
official answer so until we get
1:49
something from Sage Advice we can't
1:50
really say for sure whatever you decide
1:52
to do in your games make sure you
1:54
discuss it with your table and make sure
1:55
it's an answer that everyone is happy
