Notes

• Reposition Malefactor does not use an  Attack Roll to determine if it hits.
• The  Dexterity Saving Throw to avoid the attack has a fixed DC of 15, but in the combat log, it shows a potentially incorrect calculation involving your spell DC. (For example: 8 (Base DC) + 5 (Charisma) + 4 (Proficiency) = 15).
• Unlike most weapon actions, Reposition Malefactor does not need to recharge.

Bugs

• Since this attack does not involve an attack roll, it does not benefit from certain bonus damage sources which check the attack roll type despite listing the additional damage on the tooltip. These include:
  •  Arcane Synergy
  •  Gloves of Archery
  •  Hunter's Mark
  •  Sharpshooter: All In
  •  Titanstring Bow
