[QUOTE="ClaytonCross, post: 7821260, member: 6880599"] I have the book in front of me. Unless there is an errata I don't know about (I have to PHB Errta updates and neither say anything about this) it [B]Repelling blast is written "When you hit a creature"[/B] so each hit, knocks its target back 10ft. As point of note the First PHB has "Elemental Affinity (p. 102). The damage bonus applies to one damage roll of a spell, not multiple rolls." so when they made the errata they were looking at wording for effects that apply on hit in use with multiple hit spells and left Repelling Blast as well as Agonizing Blast unchanged. General FYI. Agonizing Blast and is on hit while Grasp of Hadar and Lance of Lethargy are "once on each of your turns when you hit" Which shows a clear intent to restrict them more which inversely shows intent not to restrict Agonizing Blast or Repelling blast further. On top of those, Jeremy Crawford replyed to agonizing blast stacking.
