Chill Touch is the next in our look at the 5E cantrips. It’s ok; depending on your campaign it may be quite strong. But I tend to prefer Ray of Frost or Firebolt over Chill Touch for a damage cantrip (assuming you’re not a warlock because warlock’s alone get Eldritch Blast). Read on to find out why.
Source Material Page 221 Player’s Handbook. It’s not present in the basic rules.

Acid Splash is one of my favorite cantrips in 5E. Read on to see why it’s one of my favorites.
Source Page 211 Player’s Handbook; it’s actually the very first spell listed in the handbook. Page 83 Basic Rules. Classes Sorcerer Wizard Thoughts First, you don’t need to roll an attack; the target makes a DEX save or takes 1d6 damage. This means you’re not worrying about min/maxing a particular ability point other than your primary spellcasting ability.

surprise
Adjudicating surprise is something that I mess up in my games from time to time. Whether I’m following the “rule-of-cool” or whether I succumb to my players asking for a surprise round, I’m guilty of not adjudicating surprise according to RAW. Read on for a quick summary of 5E’s surprise rules and a few examples.
Where are the rules? Page 189 of the Player’s Handbook (“PHB”) Page 69 of the Basic Rules version 0.
