**This attack counts as a [[Unarmed Strike]].

** Deflect Missiles does not trigger at all against attacks from [[Giantbreaker]].
|notes = *You can only reduce damage from the attack - any additional effects can't be negated.

**Additional effect here means everything that is no damage (e.g. a condition).
*Potential bugs/Needs testing: Seems to behave weirdly against certain weapons
**Deflect Missiles does not trigger at all against the Giantbreaker on from a Dwarf Warlock (previously Barbarian).
**Against dual wielding Hand Crossbows the first attack will always hit, the second attack can be reduced by Deflect Missiles, but Deflect Missiles (Return) never triggers.
