You have honed your instincts to react instantly to ambushes and sudden attacks, striking before your foes can capitalize on their advantage.
-
When a creature attacks you while it is Hidden, when you are Surprised, or when it would benefit from Sneak Attack, you can use your reaction to make a single melee or ranged weapon attack against them before their attack is resolved.
-
If this attack would be the first attack of combat, roll for Initiative, and you automatically take your turn before all other creatures in initiative order, regardless of your initiative roll. After this attack, follow the normal initiative order.
-
If you reduce the attacker to 0 hit points with your reaction, their attack is negated.
This feat allows you to turn ambushes against your enemies, punishing assassins and hidden foes before they can strike.
