The SendingStone review

Hellish Rebuke is a useful spell for Warlocks that lets them react to any damage they receive from a creature within 60 feet. The spell inflicts 2d10 fire damage on the attacking creature, making it an effective way of punishing enemies who dare to harm the Warlock. Moreover, the casting time of one reaction means that it can be used to retaliate against enemies immediately, providing a useful defensive mechanism. While the spell is limited to Warlocks, it is a potent attack that can surprise enemies and provide an important advantage in combat.
