Explanation/Description: This spell grants the recipient a +1 bonus to hit for the next six rounds in which he or she engages in melee combat. Rounds in which the recipient is not engaged in melee combat do not count against the spell's duration. The recipient can engage in combat (for less than six rounds), break off, resume combat turns or days later, and still gain the benefit of any remaining unexpired duration.

Multiple bless spells are not cumulative; they are cumulative with higher level spells such as Chant, Aid, and Prayer if cast by a priest of the same religion. In addition to the verbal and somatic gesture components, the Traditional Bless spell requires holy water. This spell cannot be reversed.
