How to learn

Granted by wielding the following weapon types with proficiency:

•  Tridents

Notes

• Target must have an actual weapon equipped; claws and the like do not count and cannot be dropped.
• A successful Strength saving throw prevents the weapon from being dropped, but the damage still applies.
• This action is essentially a weaker variant of the Disarming Attack (Melee) action available to  Battle Master.
• As of Patch 3 / Hotfix 7, the tooltip of this action shows the notice "On Miss: Does not spend Superiority Dice." This is a simple display bug; the action does not require Superiority Dice, nor does it expend any on a successful hit.
