'''Cutting Words''' is a [[Reaction]] available to [[College of Lore]] [[Bard]]s. This ability allows these Bards to distract and confuse their foes, potentially causing attacks to miss, ability checks to fail, or hits to land less heavily.

== Description ==
Use your wit to distract a creature and sap its confidence. It receives a {{C|1d6}} penalty to [[Attack Roll]], [[Ability Check]], or dealt damage. <!-- This is the actual in-game text -->

== Properties ==
{{InfoBlob|{{action|reaction}} + {{SmallIcon|Bardic Inspiration Resource Icon.png}} '''Bardic Inspiration''' Charge}}

* Targeted creature receives a {{C|[[File:D6 Physical.png|frameless|40px]]1d6}} penalty to the triggering [[Attack Roll]], [[Ability Check]], or dealt damage
* {{Range|m=18|ft=60}}

== At Higher Levels ==

* At [[Bard]] Level 5, the '''Cutting Words''' penalty increases to {{C|[[File:D8 Physical.png|frameless|40px]]1d8}}
* At [[Bard]] Level 10, the '''Cutting Words''' penalty increases to {{C|[[File:D10 Physical.png|frameless|40px]]1d10}} ''(presumed; not yet available)''

== Notes and Trivia ==
* As of Early Access Patch 9, Cutting Words can also be triggered by an enemy's [[Saving Throw]] roll. It's unclear whether this is a bug or intended behavior.
