Weapon Actions Variant.

This optional rule is for those who want weapon based classes to have a bit more complexity
with how they fight, giving them unique attack options with certain weapons. In order to gain
access to the Weapon Actions from a weapon, a creature must have Proficiency in that weapon
type and have it equipped in the main hand or both hands (off-hand weapons do not grant
Weapon Actions). If a weapon action you use requires your target to make a saving throw to
resist the techniques's effects, the saving throw DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your
Strength or Dexterity modifier (your choice). You may only use this feature up to your

its a separate cooldown for each of them)
