Eldritch Blast in BG3 vs 5e

[RhodosGuard]

So, in 5e when I gain my second beam of Eldritch Blast (which i think should be 5th level but somehow unlocks on 4th in BG3?) I can aim it at multiple creatures and make seperate attack rolls, but also trigger Hex twice if I hit the cursed creature with both beams.

In BG3 it seems it only does 1 attack roll for both beams, but therefore also only triggers 1 Hex. Would be cool if I could toggle seperate casts, with increased risk of one of the beams hitting (but also a higher volume of single blast hits) but also increased reward by 2 Hex Procs.

You actually don't get a 2nd eldritch blast in BG3. Not until level 5, just like 5E.

I think you are mistaken.

I am pretty sure that everytime I cast Eldritch Blast I see 2 red numbers and 1 green number, with red being from blast and green being from Hex.

So unless the game is bugged, and either gives me 2 blasts a level early or it rolls 2d10 for some reason?

The second red number is likely from the Cha to Damage ability for Warlocks chosen at Level 2; Agonizing Blast.

Hmm. I was thinking of rolling up a new warlock since it's been awhile. It won't take much to get to level 4 so I can test it out myself.

That's probably it. Just realized the second number is always 4, which at 18 CHA is just the mod added by agonizing blast.
Ok. Case close.

Case closed.
