Prerequsite: Versitile Weapon Fighting Style or Versitile Weapon Fighting Feat.
When you take this Feat, you become a virtuoso in the use of weapons with the Versitile weapon tag such as Battleaxes, Longswords and Warhammers.
While wielding a versitile weapon using both hands, if an opponent within 5 feet of you makes a melee weapon attack roll against you and misses, you may expend a reaction to make an Attack Roll against that opponent.
Also, while wielding a versitile weapon in both hands, if an opponent makes a melee weapon attack against you and scores a hit, you may expend a Reaction to add your maximum Dexterity Modifier for your Armor type to your Armor Class. If the attack would miss your new armor class, you deflect that attack and take no damage.
Example: A fighter with a Dexterity of 16 dressed in Chain Shirt would only be able to add + 2 to his AC in this way because that armor has a Maximum Dexterity Bonus of 2, where a Ranger with a Dexterity of 16 in Studded Leather would be able to add + 3 to her AC. But both the Ranger and the Fighter in the example would raise their AC to 15 using this feat.
You may not use this feature again until your next turn as no character may utilize more than one Reaction per turn.
