Is Spell Sniper Fixed?
The Spell Sniper feat is now fixed in Patch#3, making the previous mod obsolete, and it works as intended, providing Spell Sniper users with the ability to learn an additional cantrip and increase their chances of scoring a critical hit with spell attacks. With this fix, Spell Sniper has become a more viable and appealing option for casters looking to blast enemies from range, including INT, CHA, and WIS-based casters.
Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
What is Spell Sniper?
Spell Sniper is a passive feature obtainable by a Feat of the same name, allowing users to learn an additional cantrip and become more likely to critical hit with a spell.
Does Spell Sniper Work with All Spells?
Any spell that entails making a ranged spell attack will be affected by Spell Sniper.
Does Spell Sniper Increase Radius?
Spell Sniper doubles the range of spells, not the area of the spell’s effect.
Cantrips and Spells
Can You Learn Eldritch Blast with Spell Sniper?
Normally, Eldritch Blast uses Charisma because it’s primarily a Warlock ability, but it can be unlocked via feats such as Magic Initiate and Spell Sniper.
Does Spell Sniper Work with Booming Blade?
You can double the range of Booming Blade with Spell Sniper, making a melee attack with it against one creature within 5 feet of you.
Does Spell Sniper Work with Green Flame Blade?
Spell Sniper calls for spells that require you to make an attack roll, aka a ranged or melee spell attack, so Green Flame Blade is not compatible with the range increase of Spell Sniper.
Interactions with Other Features
Does Spell Sniper Stack with Metamagic?
The Spell Sniper feat and Distant Spell Metamagic do not set the range of the spell–they just double whatever the range is.
Can You Stack Eldritch Spear and Spell Sniper?
Yes, Eldritch Spear sets the range to 300 feet for you, and Spell Sniper states that when you cast a spell that requires you to make an attack roll, the spell’s range is doubled.
Does Spell Sniper Work with Thorn Whip?
The Spell Sniper should absolutely work with Thorn Whip in every way, as it’s only considered a “melee spell attack” because the Whip in itself is an actual melee weapon with reach.
Specific Scenarios
Does Spell Sniper Work with Primal Savagery?
Primal Savagery is a druid cantrip that requires an attack roll, meeting all three of the criteria for Spell Sniper, but doubling a spell with a range of self will have no effect.
Does Spell Sniper Affect Produce Flame?
Yes, you can pick Produce Flame, as the damaging part of Produce Flame requires an attack roll to hit and is affected by partial cover, qualifying for Spell Sniper.
Does Spell Sniper Work with Radiant Sun Bolt?
The first feature of Spell Sniper (double range) only applies when you cast a spell, so it doesn’t work with Radiant Sun Bolt, but the second feature (ignoring cover) applies to any ranged spell attack.
