Polearm Apex

Warriors of exceptional strength and coordination have mastered the use of polearms like no other. You gain the following benefits:

Polearm Expertise

• Polearms (glaive, halberd, pike, quarterstaff, or spear) with the Two-Handed or Versatile property now also have the Finesse property.

Sweep the Leg!

• After successfully hitting an enemy with an attack using a Polearm weapon, you may use your bonus action to use the butt-end of your weapon in attempt to sweep the leg of your enemy and knock them prone. The target must be of Large size or smaller and must be within your reach. Make a Strength (Athletics) check contested by the target’s Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check (the target chooses the ability to use). If you win the contest, you knock the target prone. For warriors that can make more than one attack when taking the Attack Action, this bonus action can be triggered between attacks (again, it still requires an initial successful hit to trigger).

Unmatched Power and Precision

The absolute strongest and most coordinated warriors wield their polearms with unmatched ferocity. When used with two hands, the base damage characteristic of your polearm is modified in the following ways:

• Strength & Dexterity score of 14: 1d8
• Strength & Dexterity score of 16: 1d10
• Strength & Dexterity score of 18: 1d10. You also gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with your polearm weapon.
• Strength & Dexterity score of 20 or higher: 1d10. You also gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with your polearm weapon. Additionally, the Sweep the Leg bonus action can now be made on Huge monsters or smaller.
