Defender Feat

You excel at using a shield to protect your allies. While you have a shield equipped, you gain the following benefits:

Prerequisite: Proficiency with shields

• Ability Score Increase. Increase your Constitution score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
• Interposed Defense. When a creature you can see attacks a target other than you that is within 5 feet of you, you can take a Reaction to impose Disadvantage on the triggering attack roll and all other attack rolls against the target until the start of your next turn.
• Covering Shield. You count as half cover for ranged attacks and Dexterity saving throws for other creatures that are adjacent to you.
