Notes

  • The Shield Shield spell causes the caster to take no damage from Magic Missile.
  • The level 10 Evocation School Wizard feature Empowered Evocation Empowered Evocation will add the wizard's Intelligence modifier to each missile.
  • When interacting with effects like Death Ward Death Ward and dealing multiple attacks to the same creature, if the 1st attack was sufficient to down down the target, the 2nd attack will apply before Death Ward activates leaving the target with 1HP. An action with three attacks, however, would result in the creature being downed. A player character with Death Ward applied would need to receive 6 attack applications to fully die: 2 to break the ward, 1 to get downed, then 3 more to fail 3 Death Saving Throws. This effect seems to apply to all multi-application attacks such Scorching Ray Scorching Ray and Eldritch Blast Eldritch Blast (as of 4.1.1.3669438).
  • The incantation for Magic Missile is Tormentum, Latin for "catapult", "missile", and "torment".
