Fundamental: When another creature would damage you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to increase your AC by +2, possibly turning a hit into a miss. If the attack misses, you can attempt to Disarm the target as part of the reaction.
- Trained: Gain +2 AC against the triggering attack. On a miss you may attempt to Disarm the attacker.
- Expert: As Trained. If the attack still hits despite the bonus, you reduce the damage taken by an amount equal to your Strength or Dexterity modifier (Whichever is higher).
- Master: As Expert. The AC bonus increases to +4. On a successful Disarm, you can choose to grab the weapon if you have a free hand to do so. You can attempt to wield the weapon (if you are at least trained with the weapons type).
