Prerequisite: Can only retaliate against melee attacks with melee weapons or unarmed strikes.
You can potentially reduce the damage from a melee attack or even nullify it entirely.
As a reaction, roll a melee weapon attack or unarmed strike:
- If you roll higher than your opponent, the damage from the attack is split between you and your attacker.
- If you roll equal to your opponent, you take no damage and the attack is nullified.
- If you roll lower than your opponent, you take the damage as you normally would.
* In the case of an odd damage number like 37, for example, the defender would take 19 damage and the attacker would take 18 damage.
