You have developed the technique necessary to parry attacks against you. You gain the following benefits:
- PREREQUISITE: You must have proficiency in Martial weapons
- As a reaction, when a creature melee attacks you, before you know their attack roll, you may attempt to parry.
To parry, roll your weapons attack roll, to beat the value the attacker rolled, (which you learn after you choose to parry)
If you fail, their attack hits you if it beats half your AC (making parry a gamble)
If you pass, you parry their weapon mitigating all damage to yourself
and if there is a creature adjacent to you, perpendicular of the attacker, and your parry roll is higher than that creatures AC
than the original attacker now hits that adjacent creature, the attacker rolls damage for their weapon on this new target
