Notes
- Though not explicitly stated, the weapon equipped in the main hand is required to have the Finesse property.
- Defensive Duellist only triggers when it is capable of turning a melee attack hit into a miss.
- According to the Battle Log, Defensive Duelist does not change the user's Armour Class. Instead, it subtracts the user's Proficiency Bonus from the enemy's attack roll.
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.
