    Moonbeam does damage on A turn not their turn. So will do damage on the cast and when it's their turn. More damage Kim! :)
    Chaos Bolt does 2d8+1d6 damage. So you can do more damage Tom! :)
    Just FYI.

    • @lincolnsummers1235
      @lincolnsummers1235 26 днів тому

      I am unsure about the moonbeam ruling there. That might be a homebrew way of doing things.

    • @ericaheathrow7085
      @ericaheathrow7085 25 днів тому

      Moonbeam does damage to a creature when that creature enters the beam for the first time on a turn, or if it starts its turn there; it does nothing *at all* on the turn of the caster casting it, because neither of those conditions are met (it does not deal damage when the beam appears - some spells do, and they say so, moonbeam is not one of them; the beam appearing is not the same as a creature entering the beam). If you cast it over a creature, that creature will take damage when and only when it *starts its own turn there*, not before, unless some other circumstance permits the creature to move outside of its turn, *and* it uses that to move out and then back in (in which case it would satisfy 'entering the beam for the first time on a turn', even though it's not its turn).
      It's a very commonly misruled spell, because a lot of folks don't feel like it's right to cast a spell on an enemy's position and have it do nothing initially - what ultimately matters is that everyone at the table playing agrees on how they want the spell to work.

    • @jesse6927
      @jesse6927 25 днів тому

      Similar thing with Vicious Mockery. It has a secondary effect that gives the target disadvantage on their next attack roll before the end of their next turn. Better in most situations than mind sliver imo

    When you cast a spell that targets only one creature and doesn’t have a range of self... To be eligible, a spell must be incapable of targeting more than one creature at the spell’s current level.
