Hello warlocks of all shapes and sizes! Thank you so much for checking out the first ever episode of our Eldritch Invocation series, this has been requested for quite some time so i’m happy to do it for you. It is super sweet, super short and honestly there’s not a whole lot to a lot of these but i just want to explain them in depth and give you the option to pick them when you’re building your character.
In any case let’s get started. Today we’re going to be taking a look at one of the most common and i would argue mandatory indications to pick for any warlock build, today we’re going to be taking a look at agonizing blast dnd 5e let’s take a look at the description here.

Description
The first and foremost it might be worth noting that there is a prerequisite for it and that is that you have to be able to cast the eldritch blast 5e cantrip that’s a fairly common prerequisite and honestly if you’re a warlock without the eldritch blast cantrip you’re either running a fairly counterintuitive character for role-playing purposes or flavor purposes or just with a challenge or you’re not playing a warlock right, at least in my opinion. Anyways the invocation reads as followed.
When you cast eldritch blast, add your Charisma modifier to the damage it deals on a hit.
Very cool stuff! Why is eldritch blast so good you may ask? Well let me explain a little bit more down in the overview. Apart from this you can also read agonizing blast eldritch adept.
Overview
So eldritch blast is unique cantrip in the way that as the you get into higher levels with one of this agonizing blast dnd 5e spells, how much damage does eldritch blast do! you actually each blast still does the same damage you just happen to cast more agonizing blast multiple beams as it were for each level so, you get one when your level one to four, at five levels you get two beams, at 11 level you 3 beams and at 17th level you get four beams. In any case you may also like to know why is eldritch blast considered better than firebolt?.
So what that means each seperate beam you have to roll is seperate attack roll for it and because each counts is a seperate hit, you get to add your charisma modifier to each blast. And with charisma being your spell-csating modifier. In any case it makes sense to have a high charisma score. So that’s just what makes this so gosh darn good. Also read the differences between the agonizing blast or repelling blast.
Conclusion
In any case if you have any ideas, any cool builds, alternative uses or thoughts about agonizing blast please put them down in the comments below i really like reading them, i know everyone else does as well. That being said, thank you so much guys and i will see you next time have a great day and as always happy casting. eldritch mind 5e | repelling blast 5e |
