Notes

  • This reaction is only triggered when making the first attack with Defender Greataxe in a round. Subsequent attacks do not give an opportunity to activate this action.
  • The -1 penalty to attack rolls from this effect is applied to the attack that triggers the reaction. The confirmation prompt for the reaction shows the attack roll and AC of the target, so one can decline the reaction if turning a hit into a miss.
