Finesse: When making an attack with a Finesse weapon, use your choice of your Strength or Dexterity modifier for the attack and damage rolls. You must use the same modifier for both rolls.

Light: When you take the ⚔️Attack action on your turn and attack with a Light weapon, you can make one extra attack as a Bonus Action later on the same turn. That extra attack must be made with a different Light weapon, and you don’t add your ability modifier to the extra attack’s damage unless that modifier is negative.

For example, you can attack with a 🗡️Shortsword in one hand and a 🗡️Dagger in the other using the Attack Action and a Bonus Action, but you don’t add your STR or DEX modifier to the damage roll of the Bonus Action unless that modifier is negative.

Mastery: Vex: If you hit a creature with this weapon and deal damage to the creature, it is ☠️Exposed against your next attack roll you make before the end of your next turn.
