Greenflame Blade Cantrip from SCAG, Courtesy of EXTRA LIFE

Cool. How did you get the link? It's not showing up as live on either the Extra Life page or the D&D website page.


The wording of the cantrip feels a little awkward to me but I think I like the overall effect. If I'm reading it correctly, it essentially works like this:

1st level
1st target: normal attack effects
2nd target: ability mod fire dmg

5th level
1st target: normal attack effects + 1d8 fire dmg
2nd target: 1d8+mod fire dmg

11th level
1st target: normal attack effects + 2d8 fire dmg
2nd target: 2d8+mod fire dmg

17th level
1st target: normal attack effects + 3d8 fire dmg
2nd target: 3d8+mod fire dmg


Is that right?

This would be a great cantrip for favoured souls, attack twice with your normal attacks and then use a quickened Greenfire Blade Cantrip.

sounds like it's better then the eldritch knight make an attack and use a cantrip power...

I do like the cantrip. Wven for a rogue arcane trickster. You give up the option for a second attack. I really do like every incentive not to do twf with every class.
One thing I hope is that the bladesinger will either gain proficiency in rapiers or even gain finesse on long swords when wielding them one handed.

The ToC previewed earlier indicates that there are only cantrips for sorcerers, warlocks and wizards, so it'll be one or more of those. Since it seems like it was designed for eldritch knights, it'll have to be on the wizard list at the very least.

Thanks!

I agree that is important. Having seen a rogue in our party miss fairly often with his first attack and rely on the follow up second weapon to get the sneak damage in that round, its a risk to cast this cantrip assuming it will always be better. Without the second opponent being adjacent i'm not sure how worth it, it really is.

What I like best about this cantrip is that it works only in melee. Melee in 5E needs all the help it can get to stay relevant.

Is that right?

Yes, but you also have to shout "GREEN FLAME!" when the spell goes off, or else Chris Perkins will be unhappy.
