Grazioso (spell).jpg

Grazioso is a spell that enhances the natural agility and coordination of its recipient, bestowing a supernatural fluidity to movement and precision in action. Upon casting, the target's dexterity increases by 1d6 points for the spell's duration, sharpening reflexes, improving balance and refining motor control. This heightened ability manifests in a range of benefits, including swifter reaction times in combat, improved missile accuracy, enhanced proficiency in dexterity-based sage abilities and weapons, and greater ease in performing feats of agility such as acrobatics, sleight of hand and evasive manoeuvers.

Saving Throw none
Level bard (2nd)

The increased Dexterity may potentially improve the recipient's armour class, making them more difficult to strike in battle. Naturally ability checks are also improved.

While the spell influences nearly every aspect of a character's dexterous capabilities, it does not grant additional action points, as it refines existing coordination rather than accelerating movement beyond natural limits. However, combatants wishing to fight with two weapons may find themselves now able to do so, as the heightened grace and fluidity granted by grazioso improves their ability to control multiple weapons simultaneously.

Dexterity gained through grazioso cannot increase a creature's ability beyond a maximum of 25. The spell's effects simply evaporate at the end of the spell's duration, leaving the subject unharmed but without the extraordinary finesse they briefly possessed.
