Effect

Arcane Acuity

Arcane Acuity increases spell attack rolls and spell save DC according to its remaining stacks.

Stage 3 · Combining effectsEquipment and stacking

If your equipment grants stacks from weapon attacks, attacking before casting can help. The action that grants stacks depends on the item.

Taking damage reduces its remaining duration. Even after building stacks, being hit before casting can reduce the bonus.

Attack rolls

Core rule permalink

An attack roll decides whether an attack hits. The total must meet or exceed the target’s Armour Class.

Stage 1 · Combat basicsAttacks and dice

Roll a d20 and add the applicable ability modifier, proficiency bonus, and other attack bonuses. The weapon or spell determines which ability applies.

Damage is calculated after the hit is decided. A larger attack-roll total does not itself deal more damage.

d20 rolls

Core rule permalink

A d20 has twenty possible results, from 1 to 20. It is used to resolve attacks and many uncertain actions.

Stage 1 · Combat basicsAttacks and dice

Add the relevant ability modifier, proficiency, and other bonuses to the die. Meeting the target number is enough to succeed.

Attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks use different bonuses. A bonus to one does not automatically apply to the others.

A saving throw determines whether you resist or avoid a harmful effect, such as a spell or trap.

Stage 1 · Combat basicsAttacks and dice

Roll a d20 using the ability named by the effect, then add the relevant modifier and saving-throw bonuses. Meeting the Difficulty Class succeeds.

Success may mean half damage or avoiding the effect entirely. A successful save does not always mean zero damage.

    Reduce the duration by 2 each time the entity takes damage.

      Stacking

      Core rule permalink

      Repeated effects may grow stronger, last longer, replace one another, or fail to combine.

      Stage 3 · Combining effectsEquipment and stacking

      For conditions such as Radiating Orb, remaining turns also affect strength. In contrast, repeated resistance does not keep halving damage.

      Check whether the effect stacks and whether it has a cap. A shared display name does not mean the values from every variant can be added together.

        Using Arcane Acuity

        After building it up, use it with spells that use spell Attack Rolls or require Saving Throws; also account for its duration being reduced when the bearer takes damage.
