[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9446943, member: 7030563"] The entire attack we are talking about with true strike is an effect of the spell. The "attack" does not happen at all without the spell. Also keep in mind the weapon is RAW a material component for this spell. Truestrike is not just a Cantrip that lets you make a weapon attack using Charisma. Truestrike is an actual spell you cast using the magic action, and with both a somatic and a specific material component. The spell causes the attack with the weapon that is the material component. The damage is not "explicitly" from the Cantrip in Eldritch Blast or Chill Touch either and the attack itself in Truestrike is explicitly from the cantrip. Further the extra damage you get at higher levels is [U]explicitly[/U] part of the "Cantrip Upgrade" for Truestrike. You are saying it is not explicitly caused by the cantrip, but the wording on the spell even calls it out specifically as part of an upgrade to the Cantrip. Yes damaging cantrips like Truestrike! And this was discussed at length during the playtest, it was also discussed how it was going to stack and was previously discussed on this board in the posts about the 2024 Warlock and this is the first time I have seen anyone suggest this. If you want to play it this way at your table that is fine, but RAW and RAI AB clearly works with Truestrike (and Booming Blade and Green Flame Blade if you are playing with those). [/QUOTE]
