Eldritch Blast
EvocationA beam of crackling energy streaks toward a creature within range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 1d10 force damage. The spell creates more than one beam when you reach higher levels: two beams at 5th level, three beams at 11th level, and four beams at 17th level. You can direct the beams at the same target or at different ones. Make a separate attack roll for each beam.

Player Guide
Position yourself at range where enemies cannot close distance quickly, as Eldritch Blast requires no saving throw and rewards accurate spell attacks. Always use your bonus action for movement rather than attacking twice, since a single blast per turn is typically more accurate than the Attack action at higher levels. Leverage cover and difficult terrain to maintain distance while dealing consistent force damage, which rarely encounters resistance.

DM Tips
Remember that Eldritch Blast scales with character level (additional beams at 5th, 11th, 17th), making Warlocks remain relevant damage dealers throughout all tiers. At higher levels, invocation synergies like Agonizing Blast and Repelling Blast can create mobile control mechanics that exceed expected cantrip power.
