Bugs

• The damage modifier of this attack uses Strength or Dexterity, whichever is higher, even if the weapon does not have the finesse property. This is still true if another ability is used for the attack roll (such as through Shillelagh or Pact of the Blade).
• The bonus attack often does not add bonus damage from sources other than the ability modifier. Additional damage from sources such as Hunter's Mark, Divine Favour, Great Weapon Master, Rage and many more will not be applied to the PAM bonus attacks. Other damage bonuses such as Hex and Divine Smite do apply their bonus damage to the PAM bonus attack.
