I don't know. I don't think I'll mess with anything in Tasha's until I'm more familiar with it. On the other hand, I might give that Flute some abilities to make up for it... @jmucchiello what Invocations are you interested in?

@FitzTheRuke here was my basuc idea for the revamped Dandin. Not fully flesged out and I'll need to sit down and sift through to make sure nothing else slipped through the cracks.

The Add charisma to eldritch blast damage one... Agonizing Blast. Which would make the cantrip 1d10+3 per its two attack rolls. Not like she ever hits with it.

Okay, Escella will learn (by clever thinking and minor experiments) that she can use her old flute to channel her strange new energy blasts (she found she could do this after she was imprisoned and put through a ritual by gnolls, IIRC). The blast travels harmlessly through the tube of the flute, making an interesting whistling noise, and then travels in a much improved straight line for the target. Effectively, the flute works as a +2 spell focus, when it comes to her EB (she can use it for her focus for other spells, but without the magical enhancement). Yes, that means +2 to hit, though not to damage, but it should help her damage output a bit anyway. Who knows, she may find other uses for it in the future.

Is that with the feat or without? IOW, you're just giving the flute an upgrade?

My understanding is slightly different from what you have said. The prerequisite for Agonizing Blast is the Eldrich Blast cantrip, which you have through the Spell Sniper feat. In essence you are a warlock since you can use Eldritch Blast and, as such, you meet the prerequisite for Eldritch Adept. Does it make sense?
I think the wording in the Eldritch Adept feat is there so that you can't use Invocations that require 7th level warlock or Pact of the Tome, etc. However, there are plenty of other Invocations that could be used, such as Eldritch Sight, Fiendish Vigor and Mask of Many Faces, for example.

I plan on living forever. Or die trying.
The text is clear - the prerequisite isn't having said cantrip as a spell. You have to be a warlock who meets the prerequisite.

I agree that's what it should say. But the current wording says "if it has a prerequisite, you have to be a warlock."

Yeah, I felt that accuracy was more your problem over damage, so I went with that as a feature for your flute. At first, I thought that magic foci did attack AND damage like magic weapons do, but apparently they don't (I don't play a lot of spellcasters).
I think we all wish that the wording was like Prickly said, but it really doesn't look that way. I'm not sure why it doesn't just say "meet the prerequisite".
I guess if jmucchiello really wants agonising blast, I could allow us to ignore that wording. I would be easy enough to do by accident, after all. Frankly, if Prickly was playing a character with EB and took it, genuinely thinking that it was okay, I'd probably have never noticed.

Bad rolls were my problem. Aside from the 2 or 3 times I managed to hit, the die roll was always under 10.
If I didn't take the feat, I'd probably do +2 to Dex.
