Does Sneak attack apply to caintrip damage?

Because now I am thinking about being a feat human rogue/ dragon sorcerer or something like that. Skill monkey/caster.

Well, it requires advantage and a ranged attack or finesse weapon, and ray of frost, for instance, is a ranged spell attack... so I guess it would be? Unless you're being super pedantic. But it seems achievable?

A ranged spell attack is not a ranged weapon.  However, if the spell involves a weapon attack (such as booming blade) then sneak attack would apply.

That's my reading of it anyway.

Edit: Reading some of the cantrips in Xanathar's, there are spells I would be flexible on.  Primal Savagery says "spell attack" but it's a spell that creates natural weapons that do acid damage.  I'd probably allow sneak attack there.  So....hmm.  It depends?

It would have to be wizard spells for the character, so either firebolt or Ray of Frost.
Also, I Haven't read anything in Xanathar's, so that's kinda out.

(character is now specifically, rouge with the ritual caster feat, and later, the arcane trickster archetype)

Those two definitely do not qualify for sneak attack per the rules.

Fair enough. I'll probably take other cantrips then.

I keep flip flopping between an archer fighter, a barbarian, and a wizard or sorcerer.

I'm not arguing, I'm explaining why I'm right.

I like how these two paladins have a near identical statline. They're both idiots.

Okay, I've got everything other than the background parts of my character sheet done. And I fully expect SorO to grab a Charisma feat(the odd-number Charisma makes it apparent), while I will be getting a Constitution feat. Either Durable or the Dwarven Resilience feat. Depends on how frequently the healer is whacked with considerable force.

I would not object to someone going full Moon Druid, you know. It'd be lovely to have someone with both significantly lower healing needs and the ability to assist with post-combat healing. Although the pair of Paladins does this fairly well to begin with, one can never have too much emergency healing. A Valor Bard would certainly make Durable more useful by having more chances to roll HD for healing.

This is a pre-written 5E adventure and we already have two paladins. Between that and the actual hit dice rules, with a cleric we'll have more healing than we should ever need.

I don't know if I should be amused or not that everybody's taking a caster of sorts.

We're da strongest!

Let's start a good cop/bad cop team.

I didn't find much to hook into Nan's intro but I got something up if someone wants to jump into it or something.

Please nobody post in the IC thread.

The intro was a base intro to the game for character creation purposes.  Not an intro post for people to actually start posting.

Edit: Let's get character creation finished, I'll flesh out the initial post, and SorO can keep his IC post if he wants to.
