With enough training and practise a combatant can learn to recognize the opportunities an opponent leaves themselves open to.
With even more training and practise a combatant can learn how to exploit these opportunities whilst covering themselves from reprisal.
Use One Hit Die as a resource to power these abilities.
Reactive Guard:
If you are the target of a melee weapon attack, you may expend one hit die to regain your reaction and then must immediately use Engage the Bind.
Engage the Bind:
If you would be targeted by a melee weapon attack, you can use your reaction and expend one hit die to give the attack disadvantage.
If the attack misses, you regain your reaction.
This can be combined with Counter-Strike if you still have a reaction and an additional hit die.
Counter-Strike:
When a creature misses you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction and expend one hit die to make a melee weapon attack against the creature.
If you hit, you add the one hit die to the attack’s damage roll.
