Magnificent…! (auditory, linguistic, visual) — The globetrotting scholar enthusiastically describes certain features of whatever dread horror they are currently facing, pointing out the weaknesses of a creature within 30 feet. The globetrotting scholar and all allies that can hear or see them gain a +1 status bonus to attack and damage rolls against that creature until the beginning of the globetrotting scholar's next turn. The scholar deals an extra 3d6 precision damage with their weapon and unarmed Strikes that hit that creature during the same duration.
