Notes

  • Reducing damage does not negate any other effects of the attack. Conditons such as Gaping Wounds from a Piercing Strike are still applied, even if the damage is reduced all the way to 0.

Bugs

  • This feature seems to behave weirdly with certain weapons, possibly due to bugs.
    • Deflect Missiles does not trigger at all against attacks from Giantbreaker.
    • Against dual wielding Hand Crossbows, the first attack will always hit; the second attack can be reduced by Deflect Missiles, but Deflect Missiles (Return) never triggers.
