Description

When you make a weapon attack against a creature you can expend one superiority die to swing your weapon at supersonic speed.
Instead of rolling to hit, all creatures in a 30ft line from the first creature you attack must make a Dexterity saving throw and you choose to knock-down or knock-back. Creatures who fail this save take force damage (equal to your weapon’s base damage plus your superiority die roll and attack modifier) and are knocked Prone (if you chose knock-down) or knocked 10ft perpendicular from the line in a direction of your choice (if you chose knock-back). Creatures who succeed are shoved 5ft in a direction of their choice.

Exhausting — After you make this maneuver you cannot make it again for 1 minute.
