Weapon Arts
2024-09-11
Weapon Arts - These special abilities can be utilized once per turn with Martial Weapons that a Character is Proficient with, with some chances to switch them being available outside of combat depending on the Weapon and the Character. Any Weapon Arts that require a Save has a Weapon Art DC equal to 8 + the Attack Roll Bonus you have with that weapon. If a Weapon Art states that it affects that Creature’s next Roll (Attack, Save, etc.) then this lasts for up to 1 minute (10 rounds). An effect of this nature cannot stack so hitting that Creature again before they make this roll just restarts the duration at the 1 minute mark but provides no additional benefits.
