Notes

  • Though not explicitly stated, the weapon equipped in the main hand is required to have Finesse.
  • Defensive Duellist only triggers when it is capable of turning a melee attack hit into a miss.

Bugs

  • Unlike similar reactions (Shield Master: Block), the icon for Defensive Duellist in the reactions tab does not "gray out" when the reaction is unavailable due to an incompatible equipped weapon.
