You are a finesse warrior who specializes in polearm combat (spear, quarterstaff, trident, pike, halberd, or glaive). While wielding a polearm that you are proficient with in two hands, you can use Dexterity instead of Strength, resulting in the following:
- Regardless of which polearm you wield, it now deals 1d6+DEX of its damage type within 5ft, and 1d4+DEX within 10ft as a melee attack
- As a bonus action you may whirl your weapon in a defensive dance, adding +1 to your AC until you move, attack, or cast a spell. This gives you disadvantage on opportunity attack rolls.
- If your weapon has the thrown property, you may use your bonus action to run up to your speed and retrieve it after throwing it. You provoke opportunity attacks as normal.
If your weapon damage increases from a feature such as a Monk's Martial Arts, you may use this benefit within 5ft melee range as normal, but must keep the 1d4+DEX at 10ft melee range.
