Versatile Weapon Master Feat

Prerequisite: Proficiency with a weapon that has the versatile property

You are an expert on the fluid use of versatile weapons, changing stances to fit any situation. When you draw a versatile weapon you are proficient with, or start your turn while wielding one, you can choose to enter one of the special stances listed below as long as you aren’t wielding other weapons or a shield. This stance lasts until the start of your next turn, drop or sheath your weapon, or equip a shield.

Each stance provides modifiers to your melee weapon attacks made with the versatile weapon while in that stance:

• Neutral Stance: You add +1 to your attack rolls, damage rolls, and armor class.
• Power Stance: You don’t add your Proficiency bonus to attack rolls, but add twice your Proficiency bonus to your damage rolls.
• Accuracy Stance: You add twice your Proficiency bonus to attack rolls, but don’t add your Ability modifier to damage rolls.
• Defensive Stance: You don’t add your Proficiency bonus to attack rolls, but if you hit at least one attack against a hostile creature, you can add your proficiency bonus to your AC until the start of your next turn.
