Necrotic Counterstrike (2× per Long Rest):

• When an enemy hits the wearer with a melee weapon attack, the wearer can use their reaction to force the attacker to make a Constitution saving throw (DC = 8 + Proficiency Bonus + Constitution Modifier).
  • On a failure:
    • The attacker takes 1d6 + CON modifier necrotic damage.
    • Their movement speed is reduced by 10 feet until the wearer's next turn.
  • On a success:
    • The attacker takes half damage but does not suffer the movement reduction.

Shields require the Utilize action to Don or Doff. You gain the Armor Class benefit of a Shield only if you have training with it.
