Just before making an attack roll with a weapon or an unarmed strike, you can make a target strike either by expending 2 stamina points, or by taking disadvantage on the attack roll. You cannot make a target strike if the attack roll would have disadvantage anyway, nor if any effect imposes a -5 penalty to the attack roll.
