I'm all for making things better but if something missed... how did it attach? That kinda defeats the purpose of say a rouge dodging the attack for whatever reason.. jumping behind cover etc. my op.

Switching subsequent uses to bonus action is all it really needed... the roll to hit should still matter.

seems way overpowered for a level one spell, ranged touch attack dealing 2d12 damage Plus bonus attacks of an extra D12. range increments of 60 ft. lasts for up to a minute. badly balanced

I think it still had a niche in its old form (though I agree too short a range). It was really good at early levels as a less common damage type that was guaranteed damage so long as you stayed in >

2025 D&D book just seems like an update (a needed one mind you) so I'm not really seeing it as a "NEW" system. so I'll take the good updates and give Hasbro nothing.

Good news for everyone: the rules are merely suggestions! If you don’t like them, don’t implement them! Ta da!

That's crazy strong, 1d12 as a bonus action on a MISS is wacky

I alway used used it as a way to generate lvl1 DMG without using more than 1 spell slot, well as long as it hit the first time lol

Scott Koteskey :
So now you can cast an additional spell or attack as your action on subsequent turns? This was always the drawback of witch bolt for me, just being locked into this as your action on each turn...

I think it's good for martials without concentration too. You can get it with Magic Origin Wizard as a human or as an Eldritch Knight. Only problem is that it's ranged attack and might be in melee.

This spell got SO much better. I’ve used it twice in a new campaign but I rolled a nat20 both times for the attack roll killing my targets so I haven’t had a chance to use the bonus action yet 🥲

Yikes that is wildly op for a lvl 1 spell, the increased range, latch, and bonus action is awesome but they should bump down the reoccurring damage

So is it an update or a clarification. Like, if that was always the intention, we should just play it that way in 5e as well

I hated that even if you hit, all anyone had to do was move their full speed away from you and they negated the usefulness of the spell
