[QUOTE="TheSword, post: 9455542, member: 6879661"] I’ve told you the basis… a couple of times now. We have two meanings for the word Attack in D&D. The Attack action (with a weapon or unarmed strike) described on pg 15 and pg 361 (the glossary) and the general process to hit and damage creatures described on pg 25. Therefore there are two possible interpretations of the spell. In my opinion the attack action is the more common meaning - partly because the glossary entry refers to Attack as the action. I am also of the opinion that IF the spell included spell attacks like Hex and Bless do, it would clarify that by using ‘Attack Roll’ like Hex, Bless and all other spells do apart from this one. It doesn’t. I also have a hard time believing that the spell would add the volume of damage it does to spells that casually spit out multiple attack rolls like scorching ray. All this leads me to conclude it doesn’t apply to all attack rolls. Instead to the attack action - the other meaning for word attack. I totally accept that it isn’t conclusive, I’m choosing one of two possible interpretations until it inevitably gets clarified. I mean if you want to choose the option that expands the spells remit as far as possible then complain about the effect as being too good that’s up to you. I made my choice and I sleep just fine.
