Notes

  • This attack uses the same ability modifier as the primary attack. The weapon's damage die for this attack is a d4, and it deals bludgeoning damage.

Bugs

  • Currently bugged and does not add bonus damage from sources other than the ability modifier. However, on-attack procs like Divine Smites will still work as normal.
