Your extensive martial training has allowed you to unlock special properties or special attacks. When you gain this feat you choose two of the specializations listed below.
Some of your specializations require a saving throw. Your Specialization Save is 8 + Proficiency Bonus + Strength or Dexterity Modifier (whichever is higher). Each Specialization also has restrictions on which weapons they can be used.
Sweep. When you use the attack action you may forgo one of your attacks to instead perform a Sweep attack. When you Perform a Sweep attack each large or smaller creature within reach of your weapon must make a Dexterity saving throw against your Specialization Save or take the weapons damage and be knocked prone, on a successful save a creature isn't knocked prone but takes half damage.
(Restriction: A sweep attack can only be used if you're wielding a Heavy or Two-Handed weapon you are proficient with.)
Cleave. Once per turn when a hostile creature drops to 0 hitpoints as the result of your melee attack you may perform one additional attack using the same weapon against another creature within range.
(Restriction: You may only Cleave with a melee weapon that does Piercing or slashing damage)
Lacerate. When you make a critical hit against a hostile creature you may choose to forgo the extra damage and instead afflict them with a grievous wound. At the start of their turn a creature afflicted by a grievous wound takes damage equal to the damage dice of the weapon that wounded it. The grievous wound persists until the afflicted creature dies, receives magical healing, or a creature performs a successful medicine check against your Specialization Save on the afflicted creature. A creature that does not need blood or another vital fluid to live is immune to this ability.
(Restriction: Lacerate can only be performed with weapons that deal piercing or slashing damage.)
Crumple. When you make a critical hit against a hostile creature, they must make a constitution saving throw against your Specialization Save or be stunned until the start of your next turn.
(Restriction: Crumple can only be performed with a weapon that deals bludgeoning damage.)
