Lightning bolt is listed as having a width of 5 feet. When using a battlemap, can the line of the spell be directed between squares to affect creatures on both sides with full damage? Does Lightning Bolt affect everyone in its line of effect? suggests this would be true for Pathfinder rules. Its answer suggests that even if the lightning bolt ...
Lightning Bolt and trees in DnD 5e. Ask Question Asked 3 years, 3 months ago. Modified 3 years, 3 months ago.
\$\begingroup\$ Lightning bolt and fireball target a dex save, this makes them pretty weak imho. the "best" spells target charisma and the nastiest ones target wisdom, but in general I always preferred spells with an attack roll so the oponent rouge does not simply dodge a fireball for some strange reason, or dodges through a poison gas cloud ...
Basically, lightning damage became an area attack centered at the start of the lightning source. It's not in 5e rules, but if you want flavor, fun or "more, but still very little" realism, then you might give the older edition (2e - 3.5e) a try before inventing your own rules about it. \$\endgroup\$
The lightning ignites flammable objects in the area that aren’t being worn or carried. This is not tied to the above section about making a saving throw and simply happens to any applicable objects within the Lightning Bolt's area, no save required.

Chain Lightning has the following description: You create a bolt of lightning that arcs toward a target of your choice that you can see within range. Three bolts then leap from that target to as many as three other targets, each of which must be within 30 feet of the first target. The rules for damage rolls state:
It's your turn, you cast Witch Bolt and spend sorcery points to use Twinned Spell. You cast Witch Bolt only once but you get to target two creatures. After making two attack rolls, let's assume you hit both creatures (because if only one hits then you simply resolve the spell like normal).
You create a bolt of lightning that arcs toward a target of your choice that you can see within range. Three bolts then leap from that target to as many as three other targets. So no, you can't use Twinned Spell on Chain Lightning. Chain Lightning targets up to four creatures, and Twinned Spell requires the spell to only be capable of targeting ...
Our Sorcerer wanted to cast a Lightning Bolt as their attack on a monster that had made it into melee with that Sorcerer. DM said could make the attack, but it would provoke an OA (that would likely kill the sorcerer). Player argued that as a magic-using character they would be as adept as a Fighter doing a melee attack.
The player could then chose the direction of the bolt to be where the rider's body meets the mount's. (Lightning bolt just hits, otherwise this would be a targeted strike.) At 5 feet wide (whether that means a plane or a circular beam), the bolt can hit the rider and the mount, 2.5 feet for the rider, 2.5 for the mount.
