Can you cast booming blade with the spell Sniper feat?
If you have the spell sniper feat (doubles range of spells), and you use a weapon with reach, can you cast booming blade and hit a creature at 10ft? Can you also combine this with the feats Polearm Master and War Caster to make a booming blade opportunity attack when a creature enters your reach (of 10ft)?
How long does it take to cast booming blade?
Booming blade is a spell with an casting time of 1 action, and it targets only one creature. So, there is no reason that you would not be able to cast it with warcaster. While you are wielding a glaive, halberd, pike, or quarterstaff, other creatures provoke an opportunity attack from you when they enter your reach.
When does booming blade trigger an opportunity attack?
Also, looking through the Sage Advice that led me to this conclusion made me realize that reach + War Caster + booming blade is a bombo, because War Caster triggers off opportunity attacks, which happen when someone leaves your reach, and by the time they do that they’re out of range of the booming blade.
