You have honed your reflexes to the point that you seem to react to events almost before they happen. When you make a weapon attack as part of your reaction, you can choose to make and resolve this attack before the trigger occurs, as long as the target is within reach before the trigger. If the source of your reaction would not otherwise allow you to resolve your attack before the trigger, subtract 5 from the attack roll.
If you resolve your attack before the trigger and your attack succeeds, you may additionally choose from one of the following options:
- Disengage and move up to half your movement in a straight line.
- If the trigger was movement, target creature makes a Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, the target falls prone.
- If the trigger was a weapon attack, target creature makes a Strength saving throw. On a failure, the target has disadvantage on attack rolls against the target of the attack that triggered your reaction until the start of your target's next turn.
- If the trigger was the casting of a spell, target creature makes a concentration check when they attempt to cast it immediately after your reaction resolves. On a failure, the spell does not happen and the target does not lose any spell slot it would have used to cast that spell.
The DC for any saving throw granted by this feat is 10 or half the damage you dealt to target creature with your attack, whichever is higher. After you resolve your attack, the target immediately does the reaction trigger, unless that becomes impossible (such as if they become incapacitated) or they've fallen prone due to your attack.
