Kensai

Duelist's Precision

At third level, when a creature makes a melee attack against you, you can use your reaction to make one melee attack against that creature with your Kensai weapon.

If their attack missed you: Your attack roll has advantage and the attack deals 2d6 additional damage on a hit.
If their attack hit you: Your attack roll has advantage.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses after a long rest.

At level 7 the damage increases to 3d6, at level 10 it increases to 4d6, and at level 15 it increases to 5d6.

NOTE: Duelist’s Precision and Sneak Attack: The additional damage from Duelist’s Precision does not stack with Sneak Attack damage. If you can apply both features, you choose which one to use for a given attack.

Quick Draw Stance (Passive)

At third level, if your Kensai weapon is sheathed at the start of combat, the first attack made against you in the encounter has disadvantage. This feature represents your ability to anticipate and react swiftly to the first strike.

Enhanced Duelists Precision

Graceful Parry

At level 10 when a creature misses you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to make a melee weapon attack with your Kensai weapon against that creature.

Flawless Execution
