Notes

Regarding Searing Blood:

• The target makes separate saving throws to avoid  Bleeding and  Burning.
• This attack's damage modifiers function as damage rider sources, even in Honour mode. Consequently, riders such as  Phalar Aluve: Shriek and  Hex trigger separately for the weapon's base damage, the 1d6 fire damage, and the proficiency bonus fire damage. Notably, these bonuses also apply to the 1d6 slashing damage reflected back onto the attacker.

Bugs

Regarding Searing Blood:

• The tooltip makes no mention of applying Bleeding and Burning.
