Combat Flourishes are stand-alone scripts with a mechanical benefit that can be applied to items in addition to the script and subscript slots. They are a type of Flourish.

A combat flourish is a flourish script that has mechanical benefit. Only one combat flourish can be active at a time by default, but which is active can be changed via the FLOURISH verb when not in combat. If multiple mechanical flourishes are applied to one item, the project difficulty will be increased based on the highest difficulty out of all applied flourishes, regardless of which is currently active.

Legacy - Script Incompatibility

With certain flares moving to the Combat Flourish system in August 2024, we are tentatively leaving this list until it is confirmed if they still remain incompatible or not.

Additional Combat Flourish Slot

By default, combat gear has only one slot available for adding a combat flourish. Additional combat flourish slots must be added before a second combat flourish can be applied.
