Can green flame blade start a fire?
Green-flame blade was an evocation spell that caused a burst of green fire to leap from a swinging weapon.
Is Green Flame blade fire damage?
Almost. Green-flame blade adds your spellcasting ability modifier to the second-target damage (so most likely 1d8+4 at 5th level) and booming blade does an extra 1d8 (scaling normally; 2d8 to 5th level) if the target moves within one round.
Does green flame blade count as a weapon attack?
Green Flame Blade provides a melee weapon attack, but not the Attack action. So, it can’t be used with things that require an attack action, such as Extra Attack or Two Weapon Fighting, but Sweeping Attack only requires a melee weapon attack, not the Attack action.
Does green flame blade count as magic?
The extra damage from Green-Flame Blade is magical. The weapon damage depends on the weapon, not the cantrip.
Can you cast flame blade with green flame?
The question is – can I cast Booming Blade or Green Flame Blade twice with my attack action? No. You can replace one of your attacks from the Attack action with a cantrip.
How useful is green flame blade?
Green Flame Blade (GFB) is a damage cantrip that can hit multiple enemies. That on its own makes the spell a great addition for numerous classes. Any class that has a single attack will benefit from this cantrip. Also, the damage to the second target is not that great, even as the cantrip levels up with the character.
Can you smite with green flame blade?
Though you could squeeze in one more attack (possible Divine Smite-ed) after casting. Round 2.1 – Cast Green Flame Blade, on a hit, use Divine Smite – Divine Smite only needs you to hit with a melee weapon attack, which GFB does. No problem.
Does green flame blade have to bounce?
No, you don’t have to cause the green fire to leap to another creature, as of the 2020 errata. The green-flame blade cantrip was updated when it was reprinted in Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything (p. 107), and the version in the Sword Coast Adventurer’s Guide (p. 143) received errata to match.
Can you use booming blade with green flame blade?
Does booming blade count as magical?
The booming blade spell isn’t intended to make the required weapon attack magical. So the weapon attack you make as part of the spell is not magical on its own.
Can you use Shadow Blade and green flame blade?
Green-Flame Blade no longer works with Shadow Blade. Booming Blade no longer works with Shadow Blade.
Can you twin spell shadow blade?
Essentially, you cannot twin this spell for the same reason you cannot twin Shadow Blade or Spiritual Weapon: it doesn’t target a creature, it just creates a weapon and lets you use it for attacks as a bonus action. The spell itself must target a creature.
