When a creature takes a melee or ranged attack against you and there is another creature 5ft from you, you can use your reaction to use that creature as a meat shield. Roll an athletics check contesting an athletic check from the meatshield.
Thus will give you a +5 to AC for that turn. If the attacking creature still rolls higher, you take half of the dealt damage. The meatshield takes full damage.
