Acid Splash 5e FAQ FAQ

Yes. In D&D 5e (2014), Acid Splash can target either one creature or two creatures you can see within 60 feet. If you choose two creatures, they must be within 5 feet of each other. Each target makes its own Dexterity saving throw, so one creature can succeed while the other fails. A creature that fails takes the spell’s full current acid damage, while a successful save takes no damage.

No, not under the normal D&D 5e (2014) spell rules. Acid Splash tells the caster to choose one or two creatures, so an object such as a door, lock, rope, weapon, chest, or wall is not a valid direct target of the spell. The fact that Acid Splash deals acid damage does not independently expand its targeting rules. A DM can always allow a situational interaction as a house ruling, but that is different from the spell’s written targeting.

No. Under the 2014 Twinned Spell rules and their official errata, Acid Splash is not eligible because the spell is capable of targeting more than one creature at its current level. This remains true even if the Sorcerer chooses only one creature for a particular casting. Twinned Spell checks what the spell is capable of targeting, not merely how many targets the caster happened to choose that time.

Normally, Evasion does not change the result of Acid Splash in D&D 5e (2014). Acid Splash uses a Dexterity saving throw, but a successful save already causes the target to take no damage. The 2014 Evasion feature applies to effects that use a Dexterity saving throw for half damage on a success. A special interaction can arise if another feature, such as the 2014 Evocation Wizard’s Potent Cantrip, changes Acid Splash so that a successful save deals half damage; the exact Evasion interaction in that modified case is not directly resolved by an official ruling and can require DM adjudication.

No. Acid Splash does not use a separate caster-level calculation in D&D 5e (2014). Its damage increases according to the character’s total level: 1d6 at levels 1–4, 2d6 at level 5, 3d6 at level 11, and 4d6 at level 17. This means multiclass levels still count toward the damage increase. A Sorcerer 1 / Fighter 4, for example, is a 5th-level character and therefore deals 2d6 Acid Splash damage on a failed save.
