Attacks done with [[Weapon]] | Attacks done with a [[Weapon]] always use an Attack Roll to determine success. Some spells also use an Attack Roll to determine whether they hit their intended target (such as [[Fire Bolt]] or [[Eldritch Blast]]), though other spells hit the target automatically (such as [[Magic Missile]] or [[Fireball]]). A spell that hits its target automatically may allow the target to make a Saving Throw instead; see below. | ||
The Attack Roll should not be confused with the Damage Roll, which instead determines the amount of damage done to a target by a successful attack. | The Attack Roll should not be confused with the Damage Roll, which instead determines the amount of damage done to a target by a successful attack. | ||
