4/10/2023 0 Comments Polearm master shillelagh![]() ![]() I will concede that Jeremy Crawford made it clear that at least part of this feat does work- likely the ability to take an opportunity attack when an enemy approaches. I propose that the clear intention of Quarterstaffs being included in Polearm mastery, is that they can be used in this manner while being wielded in two hands. This is before considering the implication of the greater chance to make an opportunity attack. Therefore, a Shillelagh Polearm Master Bonus Action Attack will be a Wisdom-based attack with 1d4 damage. He has lower AC (despite being boosted by a feat) and he deals less damage (despite being boosted by his fighting style, and wielding a martial weapon over a simple weapon). If you decide to forgo the benefits of your bladesong, your armor and shield proficiencies will allow you to reduce or even dump Dexterity, but you will then need to make up for it with Strength for better melee attacks unless you find a way to get shillelagh. Shillelagh does not increase the damage of of the Polearm Master feat. So, if you are allowed to make the bonus action attack while wielding a quarterstaff in one hand, the dual wielding Fighter with added feat support, is completely redundant. In addition, fighter B can make an attack when creatures move next to him. Main attack damage of 1d6+5 (8.5 damage per hit)īonus action attack of 1d4+5 (7.5 damage per hit) He wears a shield on one hand, and his quarterstaff (a simple weapon) in the other. Main attack damage of 1d8+3 (7.5 average damage per hit)īonus action attack of 1d6+3 (6.5 damage)įighter B take Polearm master and the Dueling fighting style. He wields a long sword in one hand (a marital weapon) and a short sword in the other. Having it almost chops the need for an entire ability score out of your character when you have one of those. However once you combine it with Green Flame Blade, Booming Blade, Extra Attack or Divine Strike then it's great. Both wear a Chain mail shirt, have 16 strength, and are human.įighter A takes the Dual wielding feat, and the Two Weapon fighting style.
