Prerequisite: Proficiency in either Rapiers or Longswords, and must be proficient in Daggers. Must also be at least lvl 4 in one martial class
Using masterful skill with the blade, as well as utilizing dueling strategies not often practiced, you have become quite the adversary when on the battlefield.
You gain the following:
- Increase either Strength or Dexterity by 1
- You gain proficiency with the Parrying Dagger (costs 50gp), a specialized blade designed to block attacks as opposed to dealing them out (does 1d4+dex damage, must be held in offhand)
- Once per round, you may use a reaction to parry a single piercing or slashing melee attack. This can only be used if you have a rapier/longsword in your main hand, and the parrying dagger in your offhand. This parry increases your AC by your Dex modifier. Should you use this ability, you cannot attack with the parrying dagger on your next turn, but you can add an extra 2d8 of damage to your attack. If you fail to hit, the target creature gets an opportunity attack with advantage.
- The damage increases to 3d8 at lvl 11, and 4d8 at lvl 17. This damage can only be applied to a single attack per turn.
