[QUOTE="Ancalagon, post: 7447756, member: 23"] Hello Two questions about this spell. First, is the following "mini combo" legitimate? With the feat warcaster, you can cast a spell as a reaction instead of attacking as an attack of opportunity. So when an attack of opportunity is triggered by someone moving out of your threatened square, you do this, and boom they take the extra damage for moving automatically. Is this right? Second, if the above happens, what gets doubled on a critical hit? Normally, the "damage if you move" doesn't increased because the movement is not happening at the same time as the attack. But in this case, it does. So does this damage get doubled? Bonus question, aka "the bastard combo". Booming blade clearly states " the target willingly moves". So you can't booming blade someone then shove them or something to trigger the "if move" damage. The target has to move on their own accord. BUT What if you make the target move not by force but by some mental compulsion? Suggestion, or fear? You essentially "hack their will" - they are now willing to move away, and do so on their own...
