(There’s also an invocation that gives you bonus Temp HP that would add to the damage.)That said, as Narrator I would allow all extra damage to be added. I crunched the numbers and am of the opinion it is balanced. Eldritch Whip has the potential to do amazing damage, but only if you manage to hit with a whip at least once each turn and only after a few turns have passed. If I remember correctly, it takes 3 or 4 turns for the damage to catch up with Eldritch Spear/Disturbance, and that’s assuming a 60% chance to hit. After that you pull ahead quite nicely. But that requires combat to run that long in the first place, and for you to be able to hit an enemy every turn.</blockquote>
