What's the difference between a magic missile and Jim's magic missile?

Jim's Magic Missile (from Acquisitions Incorporated) is a riskier, higher-damage version of Magic Missile, trading the standard spell's automatic hits for attack rolls, which can miss but also allow for on-hit bonuses (like Hex) and criticals, while also introducing the unique risk of backfiring on a natural 1, causing self-damage. Standard Magic Missile guarantees 1d4+1 damage per dart, making it reliable for breaking concentration or hitting evasive targets, whereas Jim's offers higher potential damage (2d4 per dart) but with a chance to hit nothing and hurt yourself.

Is a magic missile a guaranteed hit?

Yes, in Dungeons & Dragons, Magic Missile always hits its target as an "automatic hit" because it requires no attack roll, but it can be blocked or negated by specific spells like Shield or Counterspell, or by the target having total cover or magical protection like force resistance. It's a reliable low-damage spell, delivering 1d4+1 force damage per dart, making it great for finishing off foes or triggering effects on a "hit" (like Assassin rogues) without needing to roll to hit.

No, you generally cannot use Twinned Spell on Eldritch Blast at higher levels because the spell gains multiple beams (targeting more than one creature by default), violating Twinned Spell's core rule of targeting only one creature. You can use it at levels 1-4 when it produces just one beam, but once you hit level 5 and it creates two beams (and more at higher levels), it's ineligible for twinning, even if you aim all beams at the same target.

Is Eldritch Blast better than Firebolt?

Eldritch Blast (EB) is generally superior to Fire Bolt (FB) in D&D 5e due to its versatile Force damage (less resisted), multiple beams at higher levels (better spread/consistency), and huge synergy potential with Warlock Invocations (Agonizing Blast, Repelling Blast), turning it into a powerhouse unlike Fire Bolt's single-target burst. While Fire Bolt offers simple, strong burst damage (Xd10) and can be enhanced by specific class features (like Metamagic), EB's flexibility to hit multiple targets or push/pull single ones makes it a more reliable, adaptable, and often higher-damage cantrip, especially for Warlocks.
