Fey Defender

The archetypal Fey Defender hones the abilities of the court they hail from in their abilities on and off the battlefield. Those who model themselves on this archetype channel the untamed fervour of the Feywilds through teleportation, illusion and magic itself.

Fey Endurance

18th-level Fey Defender feature

Your exposure to the feywilds has granted you the ability to look into the face of death and say... "Um, actually, no thanks." If you, or an ally within 30ft of you, take damage that reduces their hp to zero or lower, you can use your reaction to instead reduce this hp to 1. You can use this once per short or long rest.
