layout: post title: "Chaos Bolt" date: 2017-11-14 sources: [XGE.151] tags: [sorcerer, level1, action, evocation]

1st-level evocation

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: 120 feet

Components: V, S

Duration: Instantaneous

You hurl an undulating, warbling mass of chaotic energy at one creature in range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 2d8 damage + 1d6 damage. Choose one of the d8s. The number rolled on that die determines the attack’s damage type, as shown below.

|d8 |Damage Type| |---|:---------:| |1 |Acid | |2 |Cold | |3 |Fire | |4 |Force | |5 |Lightning | |6 |Poison | |7 |Psychic | |8 |Thunder |

If you roll the same number on both d8s, the chaotic energy leaps from the target to a different creature of your choice within 30 feet of it. Make a new attack roll against the new target, and make a new damage roll, which could cause the chaotic energy to leap again.

A creature can be targeted only once by each casting of this spell.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, each target takes 1d6 extra damage of the type rolled for each slot level above 1st.
