This follows along with some of the spells like Acid Arrow -- if the spell requires an attack roll, it usually doesn't grant a saving throw. Plus, most spell attack rolls are touch attacks, whereas an imbued spell arrow requires you to hit the person or creature's full AC.It turned Imbue Arrow from an underpowered ability into one that was very useful for nailing those hard-to-hit characters that have Evasion.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
