Bugs

  • Defensive Duellist is currently bugged and will never cause an attack to miss if it wasn't already going to miss without Defensive Duellist. In other words, if an attack would have hit without Defensive Duellist and would have missed with Defensive Duellist, then Defensive Duellist will not activate. As such, Defensive Duellist does not function.
  • Pact of the Blade - Bind Pact Weapon will not trigger this reaction, even if proficient with the weapon before binding.
