Lightning Shot in Dungeons & Dragons 5e
Kibbles
Lightning Shot
3-level Transmutation
Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range/Area: Touch
Components: V, S, M
Materials: a piece of ammunition or weapon with the thrown property worth at least 1 cp
Duration: 1 round
You touch a piece of ammunition or weapon with the
thrown property, imbuing it with crackling lightning
energy for the duration.
The first time you attack with the empowered item,
it transforms into a bolt of lightning, and when fired
blasts out from you in a line 100 feet long and 5 feet
wide. Make the weapon’s attack roll against each
creature in that line, (Using the same roll against
each creature) dealing 4d8 lightning damage on hit,
and half as much on a miss. This damage roll does
not add any modifiers or bonus associated to weapon
attacks. The lightning ignites flammable objects in
the area that aren’t being worn or carried.
Once an attack has been made with the piece of
ammunition or weapon, the spell ends.
At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a
spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage increases
by 1d8 for each level above 3rd, up to a maximum of
6d8 at 5th level. World Anvil: The Ultimate Worldbuilding Toolset & RPG Campaign Manager
