| notes = * Unlike in D&D 5th Edition Rules, Cutting Words cannot be applied to damage rolls. However, it can be applied to Saving Throws (which is normally available only to Eloquence Bards).
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 -->
* In most cases using this action will cause the caster to make a verbal quip or insult the target, drawing on the same pool of dialogue options as {{SAI|Vicious Mockery}}. These remarks are fully voice acted, including for characters who don't normally have access to the action.
