Supreme Blade Parry in Dungeons & Dragons 5e

Supreme Blade Parry

8th-level / Iron Heart

Prerequisite: Three Iron Heart maneuver

Initiation Action: Bonus Action

Range: Self

Target: Self

Duration: Stance

You drop into a relaxed pose, allowing your defenses to flow naturally and easily. Your blade lashes out to absorb or deflect each attack you face, blunting the force of your enemies' blows. In battle, you enter a steady rhythm that makes you frustratingly difficult to fight. You disrupt each attack with a perfectly timed counter, leaving your foes' strikes weak and ineffectual. While you are in this stance, reduce all damage you take from weapon attacks by 12. To gain this benefit, you must be proficient with the weapon you carry. You gain this benefit while unarmed only if you have the feature that improves your unarmed attacks in any way.
