[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 8468348, member: 7030563"] Several things: 1. It uses dexterity or strength for the attack roll. 2. It must be used in melee from 5 feet away 3. It can't be easily and repeatedly combined with steady aim. 4. The secondary effect of ray of frost (loss of movement) is automatic but the secondary booming blade movement damage is very difficult to inflict along with sneak attacl. To use booming blade you need to get within 5 feet of an enemy. The rules surrounding sneak attack are going to make it difficult for an arcane trickster to meet the conditions for the sneak attack and also land the secondary movement damage associated with booming blade. 5. Shadow blade uses a 2nd level spell slot, a bonus action to case and concentration and at 9th level it can only be used for a maximum of 1 minute a day. Most tables will allow SB+BB combo however under strict RAW Shadow Blade can't be combined with the redesigned Booming Blade in Tasha's because a Shadow Blade is not[I] "worth at least 1 sp."[/I] [/QUOTE]
