Hello,
As written the potent cantrip deals half damage to creatures who succeed on a saving throw against your cantrips. The thing is, all the evocation cantrips are spell attacks. The two saving throw ones i've found are Acid Splash and Poison Spray which are both Conjuration cantrips. Is this feature actually just useless?
Did they mean to say creatures you miss with a cantrip?
Nothing says it must be an evocation cantrip. So you can do 1/2 damage on acid splash and poison spray.
But yea, there's some issues with that feature. I personally would allow 1/2 damage on a miss.
It included half damage on a miss in the last playtest packet, and I would rule that as well.
As written, it only applies to non-evocation cantrips, since those are the only ones with saves, which is silly as an evoker feature.
Or change the attack roll to a save to account for it
Yeah, they didn't think that one through. It's a strange feature, to be sure.
