Leverage (2024)

You devise a way to utilize the inertia created by swinging weapons of great mass, allowing you to use the leverage and inertia it places on your body and releases to the space around you to your benefit.

Ability Score Increase. Increase your Strength or Constitution score by 1, to a maximum of 20.

While wielding a Greataxe, Greatsword, Lance, or Maul you gain the following benefits:

Inertia Shockwave: Whenever you take the Attack action, you can replace one of your attacks to strike the ground or air below you to create a powerful shockwave. All creatures around you in a 15-foot Emanation, must succeed on a Strength saving throw (DC 8 plus the ability modifier of the score increased by this feat and your Proficiency Bonus) or take thunder damage equal to (your weapon's base damage dice plus damage modifier) and fall prone. The creature takes half as much damage on a successful one.

This ability does not count as a weapon attack for the purpose of features that require one to be made. This ability may only be used once per attack action and has a number of uses equal to your Proficiency bonus that reset back on a long rest.

Leveraged Kick: You have learned to use the weight and size of your heavy weapons to leverage your body to the perfect striking position. When you make an attack with one of the weapons listed in this feat, you may use a bonus action to make an unarmed strike against a creature within range. This unarmed strike deals a base damage of (1d6 + your Strength modifier) bludgeoning damage. If the weapon you are wielding is magical, this unarmed strike counts as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistances and immunities.
