once per turn, when an creature attempts a melee attack, you can roll an Athletics check and attempt to block the attack. on a success, the damage is absorbed by the shield. On a fail the damage is halved.
You can attempt to block an attack against an adjacent companion or against a ranged attack against yourself with disadvantage.
This feat can not be used against aoe spells and abilities.
You may attempt this feat as many times as your constitution modifier + your athletics modifier in between long rests.
On a critical failure, your shield may break.
