You cannot enhance this attack with abilities such as Flurry of Blows, Extra Attack, Sneak Attack, Smite or similar class, racial abilities or spells.  You do not add your ability modifier to damage.  You cannot take this action and use the Attack action in the same turn.Also become ripe for a Feat that grants a bonus to your Fatigue threshhold - say adding 2 or perhaps doubling your Proficiency bonus for the calculation.</blockquote>
