Parry Image
Prerequisite: Strength 13 or higher. Requires proficiency with shields.
 

Despite the difficulty of this maneuver, you’ve trained to develop the skills necessary to parry physical attacks which gives you the following advantages:

  • You can use an equipped shield to parry an attack made by a weapon at close range as a reaction. If you succeed on a DC 18 strength saving throw you take zero damage and on a failure you take the full damage of the attack.
  • You can parry any thrown object that is size small or below or weighs less than 50 pounds as a reaction. If you succeed on a DC 20 strength saving throw you take zero damage and on a failure you take the full damage of the attack.
  • Getting a critical hit on a parry saving throw means that the creature that made the attack (or any other creature within 10 feet of you) takes the full damage of the attack instead.
