Slightly less damage, but a choice of damage type.Also, Eldritch Blast does the most damage as force.  So still the winner.Doesn't matter.  The damage per die isSB: 5.0625 per exploding d8vsFB: 5.5 per d10.Same ratio if you roll/reroll them10d9 will be less than 10d10.*Unless you hit the explosion cap, but I'm not counting that.A level 5 firebolt can crit for 30 damage as well.  I expect you remember the spikes more than all the 6 damage rolls.But most importantly, your having more fun with SB.  So that what makes it the best.</blockquote>
