How to learn
Notes
- Fire bolt? does not have an attack roll and will always hit.
- The way this cantrip works, is that the target of the cantrip has to do a DC 20
Saving throw that is not affected any bonuses or penalties. Most of the time the target will be hit by a normal fire bolt, but if the target succeeds the saving throw they will instead be hit by a fireball.
- This means that targeting something that can not roll for saving throws like the ground or an object, will always shoot a normal fire bolt.
- If the target succeeds the saving throw the combat log will not only show a compeletly wrong calculation but it will also say that the target failed it.
