[QUOTE="VikingLegion, post: 9290629, member: 6794627"] Question: The entry for Eldritch Blast cantrip says you get an additional beam at levels 5, 11, and 17. Is that your total character level, or the level of the class that gave you access to the spell? Say I had a Bard 14/ Warlock 3 = does EB shoot 1 beam or 4? It feels to me like it should only be one, because I devoted just three levels to Warlock, but obviously I'm hoping it works differently. I believe a 19 Cleric/ 1 Wizard could cast a Magic Missile spell using a 5th level slot to get 7 darts (I think...), which feels weird to me, but if I"m reading the multiclass section correctly, that's legal. But cantrips are a bit different in that many of them grow in power with level, not requiring a higher spell slot. I'd just like to see something official on that if someone can point me in the right direction. EDIT: a Reddit conversation seems to confirm it's total character level and gives a few examples. That's good news. EDIT2: found an official confirmation. Trying to delete this post if that's possible. [/QUOTE]
