Shield Riposte

Prerequisite: Proficiency with shields

Used by the Orc Shieldmaidens in a bandit tribe in the mountains, you’ve learnt how to stop the momentum of an aggressor with your shield:

• When a creature no more than one size larger than you, misses you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to make a melee attack with your shield against the creature. If you hit, you deal no damage but immediately end the creature’s Attack action.
