Feat: Retaliatory Strike
Prerequisites: Dexterity 13 or higher
With your swift reactions and tactical insight, you have learned to exploit your enemy's failures, striking back when their attacks miss their mark. You have honed your skills to seize such fleeting opportunities:
- When a creature misses you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to make a melee attack against that creature. This melee attack has advantage if the original attack was made with disadvantage.
- In addition, when a creature misses you with a ranged attack and you are within range to make a ranged attack back, you can use your reaction to make a ranged attack against that creature using a ranged weapon or ranged spell attack that you have prepared, if you have one. This ranged attack has advantage if the original attack was made with disadvantage.
- Lastly, once per long rest, if an enemy critically fails an attack against you, in addition to making a retaliatory strike, you can take an additional action on your next turn.
__________
Note: The DM has the final say on whether you can make a retaliatory attack based on your currently equipped weapons, the distance to the creature, and other factors relevant to the situation.
