You have become part of the Mala Thand and thus acquired certain techniques used in the defence and guarding of your commerades in combat and brothers in arms, gaining the following benefits:
- When you spend your movement to move within 5 feet of an ally, you can use an action to designate them as the goal of your protection. When you do so, both you and the designated ally within 5 feet gain a +2 bonus to Armor Class until the end of your next turn, or if you or the designated ally are moved further than 5 feet apart.
- When a creature attacks your designated ally, you can spend your reaction to direct the blow to you instead of them.
- When you are within 5 feet of another member of the Mala Thand (who has this feat), you automatically form an impenetrable line of defence. No creatures can move through your line, regardless of size, without spending their action to shove you out of the way, and winning a contested strength (athletics) check against you. For this purpose, you have advantage on strength (athletics), as if your Mala Thand commerade is aiding you. While forming this line, you and everyone else who are part of forming the line have advantage on all saving throws against effects that would frighten you.
