You can defend an ally within 5 feet of you. As an action, you focus entirely on preventing attacks from reaching your ally. Until the start of your next turn, any attack roll made against the guarded ally has disadvantage if you can see the attacker, as long as the ally is within 5 feet of you.
Additionally, if an attack would hit the guarded ally, you can instead have it hit you (no action required). You must be wearing a shield.
