• Staff of a Mumbling Wizard

Notes

• 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. Normally the target will be hit by a normal fire bolt, but if the target succeeds the saving throw they will instead be hit 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.
