Prerequisite: Requires a dagger to be equipped and used, and a minimum DEX of 14
 

You have trained in the arts of unconventional close-quarters combat, giving you new ways to use your daggers that may increase your chances of landing a disabling blow.

By calling one of these two techniques before you make your attack roll, you may alter the dagger attack according to that option listed below:

  1. You use your dagger's pommel as a cosh, which on a successful strike replaces piercing damage with bludgeoning damage instead, at no change to the weapon's normal modifiers or magical effects applied.
  2. You use your dagger's pommel as a cosh whilst carefully picking a nerve centre as the target, which on a successful strike forces the creature to make a CON save against half the damage dealt, and if it fails then you choose whether it is Blinded or Stunned until the end of your next turn. Regardless of whether the creature succeeded or failed its save, only one half of the damage dice rolled are applied as bludgeoning damage, as the remainder of the attack was directed into disabling the creature.

 You may use this skill up to a number of times equalling your proficiency bonus, per long rest.
