Weapon Mastery

Each weapon has a Mastery property, granting it special abilities. That property is usable only by a character who has a feature, such as Weapon Mastery, that unlocks the property for the character. To use the Mastery feature on a weapon, that weapon must meet the Mastery's prerequisite.

Martial classes gain the Weapon Master Feat at 2nd-level for free. All characters may choose to take the Weapon Master Feat when they have the option to choose a feat.

Mastery save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength or Dexterity modifier (your choice)

Choose two options from the Weapon Mastery list to apply to your weapons. The weapon mastery applies to any weapon you wield that meets the prerequisites. You may only apply one weapon mastery to the same attack. At the end of each long rest, you may choose to change one or both of your chosen weapon masteries to another.

You may take this feat one additional time to gain two more Weapon Masteries.
