When you take damage from a melee attack from a creature that is within 5 feet of you, you can choose to take an additional 8d6 damage of that damage type. Upon doing so, you can then use your reaction to make a melee attack with advantage against the creature that just attacked you. If your attack is successful, you deal your normal weapon damage plus an additional 6d6 weapon damage.
