At 3rd level, you also gain the ability to parry attacks. When a creature makes a melee attack against you, you can spend your reaction to make a melee weapon attack against them. If your attack roll is higher than theirs, their attack misses, and your attack hits. Their turn resumes as normal afterwards. You have a number of uses of this equal to your proficiency bonus that recharge after a short or long rest.
At 7th level, when you use the Dodge Roll ability, you suffer no damage from bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage instead of half. You can do this a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, regaining all uses on a short or long rest.
At 10th level, whenever you successfully use your Parry ability, the attack is a critical hit.
At 15th level, you have learned to attack weak spots with devastating force. Once per turn when you make an attack roll with advantage, you deal additional damage equal to half your level.
Additionally, whenever you score a critical hit, you roll all the attack's damage dice three times instead of twice.
At 18th level, if you are wearing armor or wielding a shield, you take 5 less damage from all sources. This does not stack with other features that cause you to take less damage like this.
