You gain proficiency in the Athletics skill. If you are already proficient in this skill, you instead have expertise, doubling your proficiency bonus to any roll made with it.
As a reaction, you can force a contested Athletics check when you are hit by a melee attack. If you succeed the attack misses you, and your attacker is now grappled and cannot attack with that weapon/limb until they are ungrappled. If you fail, your attacker can follow through with their melee attack against your or they can choose to grapple you instead.
