[QUOTE="Vulf, post: 7022951, member: 6860056"] It would be an extremely great idea to talk to your DM and work out some new Thunder and Lightning cantrips using the Spell Creation rules in the DMG. Here's one I've been working on for our CoS campaign: Lightning Flash Casting Time 1 Action Range 25 feet Components V, S Duration Instantaneous Quick flashes of lightning strike out at one creature within range. The target must succeed on a dexterity save or take 2d4 lightning damage. Blue crackling lightning leaps out at another enemy within 10 feet of the target. The second creature takes damage equal to your spellcasting ability modifier. This spell's damage increases when you reach higher levels. At 5th level, effected creatures take an additional 2d4 lightning damage. The damage rolls increase by 2d4 at 11th level, and again at 17th. Against a single target, the average damage is slightly higher than Sacred Flame (0.5 damage per tier), but with less than half the range. In turns where you can get two enemies, the damage is similar to Eldritch Blast with the typical + modifier damage invocation, but is close range, and has to be spread around, and the enemies must be within 10' of eachother. Unlike EB which can target a single character at long range with multiple shots. It rivals the damage of Greenflame Blade, but can not take advantage of a magical weapons. Also is a DC vs dex. So can't take advantage of Oath of Enmity or Sacred Weapon on Paladin/Sorcerer multiclass builds. [/QUOTE]
