[QUOTE="mellored, post: 9636895, member: 6801209"] 0.0739% Not really. It's the exact same chance as the first time you rolled it. And the d10 has the same chance as the first roll as well. So if you include crits what is more likely to deal 21+ damage? And what about 5+? I did the other math, you can so this one. (Or I'll probably circle back once I get some time. Maybe ask AI?). Posion spray is also feeling left out. Last I saw there where not very many vulnerabilities in the MM. But yes. SB will deal less damage most of the time, and on rare occasion it will deal more. Though, awakened plants are vulnerable to fire so firebolt, which will multiply it's lead. Possibly, but that hasn't happened. also very likely to be only one specific subclass if at all. But just to repeat. The difference is small, and you should play what's most fun. I took Sorcerous Burst on my wild sorcerer and randomly roll the damage type. Probably. But really, the optimal choice (after Eldritch Blast) is to Trust Strike. It does the most damage, Radiant is reliable, you can use piercing if needed, melee or ranged, can use the fighers old magic weapon, can get the most add-one (archery style, sneak attack). Only downside is if you get disarmed. [/QUOTE]
