Prerequisite: Prerequisite: Strength 13 or higher
If you are subjected to an effect or action originating from a creature or object that does not spread around corners (for example, a red dragon's breath weapon, the lightning bolt spell, or the thunderwave spell), you can use your reaction to employ your shield or a weapon with the guard property, positioning it between yourself and the effect or action.
When you do, you gain the following benefits:
- You can make a Strength saving throw instead of the original saving throw.
- Creatures in a 90-foot cone behind you have total cover from the effect.
You can use this reaction a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
