Bugs

• The ingame tooltip for this action is inaccurate and missing key information:
  • The tooltip does not mention the fact that once you strike the main target, an additional attack is made against every creature within the 3 m / 10 ft radius around that target, including allies.
    • These additional attacks also deal Weapon Damage⁠⁠Piercing damage, including all normal weapon damage bonuses, despite some inconsistencies in the combat log.
    • On-hit reactions such as  Divine Smite can be applied to each creature hit by this action (at the cost of multiple spell slots, in the case of Divine Smite).
  • The tooltip claims there is an associated  Constitution saving throw, but this is not true.
