Notes

  • Slashing Flourish (Ranged) simply lets you select two targets of your choice similar to Magic Missile.
  • Slashing Flourish (Melee) does a cleave and hits 2 targets.
  • Both Mobile Flourish teleports have a range limited by the Bard's movement. Keep in mind you'll need 6 m / 20 ft movement remaining plus whatever distance you are from the target before it is pushed back in order to teleport to them. The teleport itself is a free action.
