Polearm Specialist

Having wielded polearm for much of your adventuring career, you have learned the exact holds best suited for power and usability. You have also found a suitable way to pin the handle of your against your own body.

This feat does not have any spells, modifiers, or creatures associated with it. Only the actions expressed in the description. 

• You have found a suitable way to pin the handle of your polearm to your body allowing for one handed use. This may give less damage but allows for use of your off hand to either wield a shield or quaff a potion. 

  1d8 for a Glaive, Halberd, and Pike.

  1d10 for a Lance.

• To wield  a polearm is a feat of great prowess and control of ones entire body. Sometimes however, technique is simply not enough. Throw yourself wildly and dangerously off balanced to allow for extra damage. Take care however as this will put you at quite a high risk of attack.

  Make an attack with disadvantage for an extra 1d10 damage. If you miss in your attack, all opponents will have advantage against you until the start of your next round. This must be performed while two handing your polearm. 

• Many Polearms have hooks along with their bladed edges. If your Polearm does in fact have a hook such as a Bill Hook, Fauchard, Guisarme, Poleaxe, or Halberd you can use this in combat. Make a standard attack roll and on a hit you may perform a hook and move maneuver.

  Attack damage is 1d8+Str Modifier. Perform the Hook and Move the same as a Grapple. The target of your grapple must be no more than one size larger than you and must be within your reach. A Strength (Athletics) check contested by the target's Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check (the target chooses the ability to use). If your target is one size smaller than you make this action with advantage. On a failed attempt all attacks against you will be made with advantage until the start of your next round due to failed footwork.
