Message: <blockquote data-quote="lichmaster" data-source="post: 8467276" data-attributes="member: 6683330">I just found a very nice and devastating combo using the Eldritch Archer feat chain."When you hit a target with a ranged weapon attack, you can use your reaction and choose a spell of 1st-level or higher, casting it throughyour ammunition. The spell must have a casting time of 1 action, and target a single creature or have a range of Touch. If a spell cast in this way requires an attack roll and targets the same target as the triggering ranged weapon attack, it also hits as part of that attack. You may choose not to deal damage with a ranged weapon attack used to cast a spell."Now combine it with Eldritch Volley Master:"Whenever you cast a spell with a Cone area, you may additionally make ranged weapon attacks with a ranged weapon you are wielding against targets within that conical area. You may make up to a number of attacks equal to the level of the spell cast, each against a different target. Ranged attacks made in this way ignore the loading quality of weapons and use your conjured magical ammunition."This means, if you have enough spell slots and exertion you can:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">use a bonus action to activate Heightened Reflexes, spending 2 exertion and gaining 2 reactions for a total of 3</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">upcast Burning hands with a level 3 slot, allowing you to make 3 ranged weapon attacks</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">for each weapon attack that hits, you can spend a reaction to cast spells with range of touch and casting time 1 action, like shocking grasp.</li> </ul>That's quite the use of the action economy and the various resources: in a round you burn through 2 exertion, 1 level 3 spell slot and 3 other spell slots, but you really dish it out! Potentially, a level 7 character would be able to do that (level 4 wizard, level 3 fighter with the eldritch knight archetype). Unfortunately, Heightened Reflexes is a 3rd degree maneuver, so there's no way a level 3 fighter would pull it off, but basically this is the only thing stopping this combo to trigger at level 7. Would take a level 8 fighter, so at least a level 11 character.</blockquote>
