![]() If you want your head to explode, here are the two spells I know of with the most difficulty in obeying the RAW for calculating damage: Lightning Arrow and Magic Stone. That means both of the rules above apply simultaneously, and the general way the conflict is resolved for things which are both weapons and spells is that you apply the weapon rules unless the spell has a rule telling you not to. Note that the weapon manifested by shadow blade is a spell, because it is an object, and by universal accord, objects created by spells are spells (too many other rules break down if they are not for example, it is important that flame blade's damage is magical, which is explicitly specified for shadow blade but not for flame blade). A spell tells you which dice to roll for damage and whether to add any modifiers." "When attacking with a weapon, you add your ability modifier-the same modifier used for the attack roll-to the damage. So your attack roll would be Dex/Str + Prof Modifier + D20 = Whatever you got to hit, damage is 2d8 psychic with potentially a +dex/str, depending on how your DM rules that. Spell specifically states 2d8 damage, but it also states you're making a weapon attack and as such, normal weapon attack rules apply. You could make an argument that as you are making a weapon attack with either Dex/Str, you get your bonus to either as part of the damage roll. The spell specifically states when it hits, it deals 2d8 psychic. Now, finesse as a property states that you can use either Dex or Str to attack, and you get your Dex/Str modifier as damage. You are considered proficient with it, it's magical, and deals 2d8 psychic at normal levels. So it conjures a blade out of gloom that has the Finesse property. It has a damage button but not an attack button.īeing fair to you, the spell is written a bit weird. It doesn't seem to add a way to attack with it. I just picked up Shadow Blade and something seems off. ![]() Monstrous Compendium Vol 3: Minecraft Creatures
