Prerequisite: Requires a Dexterity score of 15 or higher.
Your training, skill, and deftness have converged to enable you to become a master at using shortswords both offensively and defensively. This feat gives you the following benefits while wielding a shortsword:
- In your hands a shortsword gives you advantage to attack and extra d6 to damage.
- When you are using a shortsword, you gain an AC bonus of +1.
- You roll a d6 and add the result to your initiative when you are using a shortsword. You must attack with your shortsword on your turn or you lose this bonus on your next turn and all consecutive turns, potentially changing the order of initiative.
- When a creature is grappled you can use a bonus action to make a melee attack with a shortsword, if you used the attack action on your turn.
