Incendiary Charge in Dungeons & Dragons 5e

Homebrew (updated older edition)

Incendiary Charge

0-level (Cantrip) Evocation

Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: Touch
Components: S, M
Materials: a tiny nonmagical object that weighs less than 10 ounces
Duration: 1 minute

You infuse the object used to cast this spell with explosive energy. As part of casting this spell, or as an action, you or another creature can throw the object and make a ranged spell attack with it. This attack has a range of 60 feet. If someone else throws the object, that attacker adds your spellcasting ability modifier, not the attacker's, to the attack roll.

On a hit, the object sticks to the target. It can be removed as an action with a Strength check made against your spell save DC. On a miss, the object sticks wherever it lands. If you infuse a different object, the spell ends. You may also choose to end this spell at will.

When the spell ends, the object explodes and deals 1d6 + your spellcasting modifier fire damage to any creature or object touching it. An infused object exploded by this spell is destroyed completely.

At higher levels:

The infused object's damage increases by 1d6 when it explodes when you reach 5th-level (2d6 + your spellcasting modifier) 11th-level (3d6 + your spellcasting modifier), and 17th-level (4d6 + your spellcasting modifier).
