If you have a way of doing lots of damage you can double that damage at 2nd level. As mentioned above it gives vulnerability to all damage but the emphasis should be on VULNERABILITY. Even if the mob normally has immunity for that damage type it has vulnerability for this attack so its useful when fighting undead, golems, fiends etc.It does have an opportunity cost and I think, on balance, I would have made it a bonus action or even reaction but, with the right planning and party (rogue or paladin), it can make a big impact. And remember it will be quadruple weapon/SA damage on a critical!Hap</blockquote>
