Notes

  • This provided 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 Defensive Attack is applied to the attack that triggers the reaction. The confirmation prompt for the reaction shows the attack roll as well as AC of the target, so the weilder can decline the reaction if it would turn a hit into a miss.
