Notes
- As of Hotfix #6, the ingame tooltip for this action is inaccurate and missing key information:
- The tooltip does not mention the fact that once you strike the main target, an additional attack is made against every creature within the 3 m / 10 ft radius around that target, including allies.
- These additional attacks also deal Weapon DamagePiercing damage, including all normal weapon damage bonuses, despite some inconsistencies in the combat log.
- On-hit reactions such as can be applied to each creature hit by this action (at the cost of multiple spell slots, in the case of Divine Smite).
- The tooltip claims there is an associated Constitution saving throw, but this is not true.
- All targets within the radius of the darkness cloud are automatically Blinded, regardless of whether the attack hits them, unless they are immune to being blinded.
- The tooltip does not mention the fact that once you strike the main target, an additional attack is made against every creature within the 3 m / 10 ft radius around that target, including allies.
