Hello warlocks! Welcome to my spellbook and thank you so much for checking out the 53rd episode of our eldritch invocation. Today we’re going to be going over another one of the invocations that was added in through tasha’s cauldron of everything. We’re going to be going over a dnd 5e rebuke of the talisman.
Which as the name implies is part of the pact of the talisman 5e which was recently added to the warlocks, in the aforementioned tasha’s cauldron of everything. In any case if this is the first of the invocation article you’re reading and you’d like to see all of them all in their entirety plase do check out this page. In any case let’s dive right in to the description and prerequisite for rebuke of the talisman.
Description
The prerequisite is just have the pact of the talisman feature and the description reads as followed:
When the wearer of your talisman is hit by an attacker you can see within 30 feet of you, you can use your reaction to deal psychic damage to the attacker equal to your proficiency bonus and push it up to 10 feet away from the talisman’s wearer.
This is relatively interesting and although it’s not a ton of damage. There’s no real limitations on how many different times you can do this. Which i find to be quite interesting. Also if it’s not quite obvious to you as of yet. There’s nothing to say is you have to be the one wearing the talisman. If anything it’s implied it’s better suited to give to another member of your party. Rather interesting stuff! Now let’s move on to its overview. Don’t miss this what is the gift of the talisman 5e?.
Overview
Luckily it’s quite simple to understand from a mechanical angle. Essentially whenever the wear of the talisman is hit by an attacker that you can see within range. Burn through your reaction and you deal a little bit bit of psychic damage to them equal to your proficiency bonus and you push them 10 feet away. Also don’t skip this improved pact of the talisman.
This rather interesting as it will serve as not only a good way of protecting allies but it’ll serve as a good way of controlling the battlefield as well. Overall its usage may vary based off of the circumstances at play. Ideally you’d want to use this in a hallway or something that would confine movement even further or even alongside a spell that deals AOE or consistent AOE damage. Maybe even a longside something like booming blade that has damage proct based off of movement.
Something to that effect might work out quite nicely. In addition to that psychic damage is a pretty decent damage to deal especially at early levels of play, there’s not a whole lot of creatures that has resistance or immunity to it. As you get higher up and you start dealing with the elephants and mind flayers. Then you’ll run into some hurdles but for the most part, most common enemies have nothing in the way of resistance or immunity to it.
And of course i think the strongest thing about this particular invocation is that there’s no restriction on how many times you can use it. So there’s no reason not to spam it especially if you don’t have a need for your reaction. That being said, there are pretty good uses for reactions as it pertains to warlocks, namely hellish rebuke and shield however if you’re away from combat and you’d still like to be able to help your allies, this is certainly a strong way to go.
Outside of that if you really need to put some distance between yourself and an enemy assuming you’re the one wearing the necklace. This is a really good way to do it and also discourage enemies from maybe targeting you. Now let’s move on to my personal thoughts. Also check out what is the devil’s sight spell?
Thoughts
Overall, i really like what i’m seeing from the pact of the talisman just in general. This invocation is no exception to that. My only real complaint is that the damage is fairly minimal. That being said, though the fact that it does at least in some level scale with your character is really useful scalable abilities are arguably some of the best in dnd. Especially if you’re playing a longer campaign. Do you know what does protection of the talisman do?.
That being said, however i think the real benefit is the control element of this particular invocation and when they’re pushed away when it’s your turn, there’s nothing to stop you from unloading with repelling blast and push them even further away and controlling the battle field even further.
Conclusion
That being said, let me know what you think of rebuke of the talisman dowb beneath in the comment section. Be sure to mention any thoughts, questions, comments or concerns you have regarding it and as always guys i hope you all have a great day and as always happy adventuring. how many times can you use eldritch invocations?. | repelling blast 5e | eldritch sight 5e.
