The Draconic Bloodline sorcerer's 6th-level feature, Elemental Affinity, lets you add your Charisma modifier to the damage when you cast a spell. Does this count with cantrips such as fire bolt?

Yes it does, because cantrips are spells



Specifically, cantrips are 0th level spells. From the PHB:




Every spell has a level from 0 to 9. A spell's level is a
general indicator of how powerful it is, with the lowly
(but still impressive) magic missile at 1st level and
the earth-shaking wish at 9th. Cantrips - simple but
powerful spells that characters can cast almost by rote - are level 0.




Since cantrips are spells, and Elemental Affinity lets you add your Cha mod to damage when you cast a spell, Elemental Affinity applies to cantrips (that deal the appropriate type of elemental damage, of course).

    You might add that there is a specific piece of rules language it uses when it means 'spells but not cantrips', where it'll say "a spell of level 1 or higher" (or some such thing, I don't have my book at the moment).

count number of partitions of a set with n elements into k subsets

up vote 6 down vote favorite 1 This program is for count number of partitions of a set with n elements into k subsets I am confusing here return k*countP(n-1, k) + countP(n-1, k-1); can some one explain what is happening here? why we are multiplying with k? NOTE->I know this is not the best way to calculate number of partitions that would be DP // A C++ program to count number of partitions // of a set with n elements into k subsets #include<iostream> using namespace std; // Returns count of different partitions of n // elements in k subsets int countP(int n, int k) { // Base cases if (n == 0 || k == 0 || k > n) return 0; if (k == 1 || k == n) return 1; // S(n+1, k) = k*S(n, k) + S(n, k-1) return k*countP(n-1, k) + countP(n-1, k-1); } // Driver program int ma

A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

Image
0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{
