Bugs
- The attack roll granted by this ability uses the same ability modifier as the primary attack, but the damage roll is known to often use Dexterity.
- Does not add bonus damage from sources other than the ability modifier (often Dexterity is used, see above). 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.
