Activate—Prepare Flash 2 (concentrate)

Frequency once per 10 minutes


Effect You concentrate with complete focus on your surroundings, breathing in the flashblade's magic to make you lighter and faster, and the blade of your sword more flexible. You Ready a melee Strike, increasing the flashblade's reach for that Strike to 25 feet. If the trigger doesn't occur, this doesn't count against the flashblade's frequency.


Critical Specialisation Effects

Certain effects can grant you benefits when you make a Strike with certain weapons and get a critical success. This is called a critical specialisation effect. The exact effect depends on which weapon group your weapon belongs to, as listed below. You can always decide not to add the critical specialisation effect of your weapon.

Sword: The target is made off-balance by your attack, becoming off-guard until the start of your next turn.
