Hellish Rebuke: 5e, A Quick Guide

In this blog we are going to tell you about Hellish Rebuke, so read this blog carefully to get the complete information.

You point your finger, and the beast who injured you is briefly engulfed in infernal flames. The monster is forced to make a Dexterity saving throw. A failed save causes 2d10 fire damage, but a successful save only causes half the damage.

At a higher level When you use a spell slot of 2nd Level or above to cast this spell, the damage increases by 1d10 for each slot level above 1st.

What exactly is Hellish Rebuke?

Hellish Rebuke is a reaction spell, which means it can only be cast if the response condition is satisfied. When an opponent within 60 feet of you is damaged, the caster can use their response to envelop the target in searing flames, causing fire damage.

The spell forces the adversary to make a Dexterity saving and deals half damage if the save is successful.

Who has the ability to cast Hellish Rebuke?

In 5e, warlocks are the only ones that have Hellish Rebuke in their spell list by default. When Oathbreaker Paladins achieve level 3, they gain Hellish Rebuke to their extended spell repertoire. If a bard uses its Magical Secrets feature, it can cast Hellish Rebuke.

Tieflings of the Asmodeus Bloodline can cast Hellish Rebuke at the second level utilizing their Infernal Legacy.

When and where should I use Hellish Repudiation?

Pact of the Blade Warlocks will find it easier to avoid Hellish Rebukes because employing their Pact Weapon puts them in a melee range of opponents.

Hellish Rebuke has no area of effect, thus aside from creatures who are resistant — such as Fire Elementals — there isn’t really a bad moment to cast it.

Why should I take Hellish Revenge?

Hellish Rebuke is a reaction spell that creates a strong additional wall, preventing the Warlock, who can be a squishier caster at times, from becoming an easy target for enemies.

How often may Tieflings use Hellish Rebuke?

Tieflings of the Bloodline of Asmodeus can use Hellish Rebuke without spending a spell slot once every long rest. This cast will be handled as if it were cast at the second level at all times.

Can Hellish Rebuke Be Repulsed?

Yes. Hellish Rebuke, like Counterspell, is a response, and there is no rule that says a reaction’s trigger can’t be someone else’s reaction. As a result, Hellish Rebuke can be countered.

Can you use Hellish Rebuke this turn?

Yes, if the trigger condition is satisfied. If someone uses a damaging response, you can certainly cast Hellish Rebuke on your turn.

Does Hellish Rebuke cast Hex?

No. Hex only activates actions that require the player to make an attack roll, whether with a weapon or a spell. Hellish Rebuke demands the target to save rather than attack. It has no effect on Hex’s damage.

Rulings

• Reaction Timing: Hellish Rebuke is cast as a reaction to being damaged.
• Target: The spell can only target the creature that damaged the caster.
• Saving Throw: The target creature makes a Dexterity saving throw to halve the damage.
• Damage Scaling: The damage increases by 1d10 for each spell slot level above 1st. 
• Bonus Action Restriction: While you can cast Hellish Rebuke and another spell with a casting time of one action in the same turn, you cannot cast Hellish Rebuke and a bonus action spell in the same turn unless that bonus action spell is a cantrip with a casting time of one action. 
• Twinned Spell: Twinned Spell can be applied to Hellish Rebuke if you were damaged by two creatures simultaneously, but it won’t work otherwise.
• Hex and Hellish Rebuke: Hellish Rebuke is not an attack and does not trigger the Hex spell.
