Choose any weapon you are proficient with. Through extensive practice, you gain the following benefits with the chosen weapon:
- Parry: When a melee weapon attack would hit you, you can use your Reaction to try and parry the attack. Roll as if you were attacking, if your total is higher than the intial attack's total, it misses instead. Your roll counts as an attack for the sake of other abilites (you do not however, target any creature with it).
Critical hits can only be parried by a combination of another critical hit and a higher total. - Riposte: If you successfully parry an attack with 5 or more above the target number, you can use the bonus action of your next turn to make a melee weapon attack roll against the creature targeting you, within reach of you.
- Combo: If you parry an attack with 10 or more above the target number, you regain your reaction.
Note:
Critical successes count as succeeding infinitely higher. If you parry with a critical hit against a critical hit use the normal ruling.
