You have learned how to make any sword you wield becomes an extension of your body, making you a fierce foe in combat.
You gain the following benefits when you first select the feat:
- Once each turn as a free action, you may switch between an offensive or defensive stance while wielding a sword
- Offensive stance: +1 bonus to attacks with a sword
- Defensive stance: +1 bonus to AC
- When you score a critical hit with a sword, the strength of the swing allows you to cleave into another creature. You may take a bonus action to make a melee weapon attack against another creature within 5' of you.
Upon reaching 11th character level or later, your sword attacks become even deadlier as you gain the following benefit:
- Additional 1d8 slashing damage when you hit with a sword.
