All Amazons wear Adamantine bracelets as a symbol of their devotion to Amazonian ideals. You may use these bracelets as a Holy Symbol or Arcane Focus.

When a ranged weapon attack hits you or a creature within 5 feet of you while you're wearing them, you can use your reaction to reduce the damage by 1d10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Proficiency Bonus, provided that you have a free hand. You may also perform this feat with a shield.

Posted Sep 1, 2018Now you can finally play Wonder Woman in D&D. And they said Infinity War was the most ambitious crossover...

Posted Feb 9, 2019With all the nods to Wonder Woman it makes me a little sad that the whip doesn’t feature as an Amazonian weapon; I feel like it’s a missed trick! Great race page though :)

Posted Sep 11, 2022I find this to be well made, but I think the Amazonian Bracelets shouldn't be a part of it, as they are quite unbalanced, I reckon you could make it a magical item though, but it shouldn't come free with the race. Other than that, good job!

Posted Jan 21, 2025Agreed, if it was limited to once per long rest or something I might be able to get behind it, it is literally the Monk level 3 feature, but for allies, and for free.

Posted Jan 21, 2025It's more like the interception fighting style feat. If I were designing this today under the 2024 rules, I would simply say they gain the interception fighting style feat, and can use their bracelets for it. I think that's pretty balanced, as compared to the 2024 Human. You're basically just subbing the fighting style for the origin feat, and the weapon proficiencies for the heroic inspiration. I think it's balanced.
