Letter Opener

Letter Opener

Uncommon
Every time you play 3 Skills in a single turn, deal 5 damage to ALL enemies.

It counts Skills you play; the tally clears at combat start and again at the start of each later turn, so it is a per-turn counter. Every third Skill in one turn deals 5 unpowered damage to all enemies that can be hit, so six Skills deal it twice. Strength is not added.
