[QUOTE="Ovinomancer, post: 6770246, member: 16814"] I think it's a valid question, as it opens up other interesting possibilities depending on the answer. If it is shoot-look-shoot-look as you describe, then questioning how long the 'look' part takes and what can happen during that time is a valid question. Apparently, it's not long enough to move any distance, but it is long enough for that attack's damage and effects to take place, so it's at least long enough to push a creature back 10'. That's a non-negligible bit of time. So, if that exists in your shoot-look-shoot, can someone trigger a readied action on the first bolt? "I ready an action to attack if the (insert description of the eldritch blaster here) attacks someone." So the blaster casts Eldritch Blast, and the first shot goes off, can the readied action now take place during the -look- phase of the attack? What if the readied action attack drops the caster? These are valid interaction questions that hinge on the amount of time between shots of an eldritch blast. Personally, I prefer the shoot-shoot-shoot-look format for spells. [/QUOTE]
