@SageAdviceDnD @JeremyECrawford @mikemearls What if the Witch bolt crited? Since there's no attack roll for the subsequent damage, would it roll only the first as a crit or all of them as crits? (I assume only the first one, but eh)

Witch bolt's initial attack can, indeed, crit, but the damage delivered via actions on subsequent turns is unaffected by the crit. A crit isn't intended to affect the damage of other actions/reactions/attacks. #DnD https://t.co/RMj1GRDPpv

Via reactions? Was witch bolt errataed and no one told us? The spell hasn't changed. Corrected the tweet!
