Maim

When you hit a creature with this weapon you cause an aggravating wound. A creature suffering this wound loses 1d4 hit points at the start of each of its turns. If the target is Bloodied they lose three times as much health. After each time they take this damage, they can make a Constitution saving throw, ending the effect on a success. If the target receives any healing this effect ends.

This damage increases to 1d6 when you reach 5th level, 1d8 at 9th level, 1d10 at 13th level and 1d12 at 17th level.

Follow-Through

If you roll a 1 or a 2 on this weapon’s damage dice you may instead treat the roll as having rolled its maximum value.

Snag

When you hit a creature with a melee attack using this weapon, you can force the creature to make a Strength saving throw. On a failure, they become grappled by you as if the weapon counted as a free hand. You can only grapple one creature at a time with the weapon and can only use the weapon to attack the grappled creature until the grapple ends. Once you have used this ability on a creature, you can not use it on that creature again until the start of your next turn.

If you grapple a creature who is more than 5ft away from you, you pull them to the closest unoccupied space adjacent to you. If you use the Topple Mastery on the same attack, only one save is made for both effects.

Vex

If you hit a creature with this weapon, the next attack roll against this creature before the end of your next turn gains Advantage.

Flurry

You may make the extra attack of the Light property with this weapon even if the other weapon you are wielding is not light. When you make the extra attack of the Light property with this weapon, you can make it as part of the Attack Action, instead of as a Bonus Action. You can still make this extra attack only once per turn.

Riposte

When a creature misses you with a melee attack you can use your Reaction to make one melee attack with this weapon against that creature if they are within your reach. If you used the Parry Mastery to cause an attack to miss you may make this attack as part of that same reaction.

Push

If you hit a creature with this weapon, you can push the creature up to 10 feet away from you if it is no more than one size larger than you.
