[RPG] Does a spell attack trigger extra damage from Hexblade’s Curse

dnd-5ehexbladespellswarlock

If a target is inflicted with Hexblade's Curse, would hitting that target using spell attack (for example Scorching Ray) trigger the additional damage? and if so, would it affect each "ray" with additional damage?

Best Answer

Yes, it does.

You gain a bonus to damage rolls against the cursed target. The bonus equals your proficiency bonus.

So long as you roll for damage you get the bonus. The bonus applies to each damage roll, so if you roll damage multiple times for a spell (e.g. scorching ray), the damage bonus applies to each roll.
