Message: <blockquote data-quote="rules.mechanic" data-source="post: 8925527" data-attributes="member: 7025773">I've recently been inspired by this <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/UnearthedArcana/comments/10il7zy/cleric_cantrip_spiritual_strike_a_spiritual/" target="_blank">r/UnearthedArcana</a> post to start testing two sets of simple cantrips that aim to be an easy bolt-on that allow a caster to be a melee fighter (using their spell modifier), or a melee fighter to have arcane attacks. It's very much a first take and would be interested in what people think. Doesn't address the additional utility needed for an arcane weapon master and I agree with the comments above that ensnaring strike, web, misty step, blur, haste, etc would help - would be good to have a curated list of melee spells.[SPOILER="Arcane strike (for melee spell attacks)"][/SPOILER][SPOILER="Arcane strike (for melee spell attacks)"]Arcane strike for melee spell attacks (11 versions: each of the 10 damage types and 1 prismatic)Evocation cantripCasting Time: 1 actionRange: Self (5-foot radius)Components: SDuration: InstantaneousYou create an arcane force, with appearance suitable to its damage type, that you may wield in a spell melee attack against one creature within 5 feet of you. poison/fire/cold/lightening/acid: A successful hit deals 1d10 + proficiency bonus damage of that damage type.
