[QUOTE="Sorcerers Apprentice, post: 6912903, member: 6854936"] Interesting work :) Vampiric blade might ba a bit strong compared to greenflame and booming blade, since for those spells the rider is conditional, while Vampiric Blade always gives temp HP. Maybe drop the spell damage to d6? I think the deferred damage of Vitriolic Blade just adds extra bookkeeping, there's little benefit in applying a conditon that won't have any effect on the target's decision making. The target will take the damage before it gets to act again anyway, so there's little difference if it comes when hit or on the start of the turn. You might drop any extra damage on a hit, but have the spell apply disadvantage to the targets NeXT attack instead, like a melee delivered Vicious mockery. [/QUOTE]
