Fighter: Fighting Styles

You can adopt a particular style of fighting through rigorous training with weapons. You cannot select a fighting style option you already have, even if you later get to choose again. Each time you select a fighting style, you must select a fighting style you do not currently know.

Defensive Fencer

When you are wielding a parry weapon and use your reaction to parry an attack, you add your proficiency bonus to your armour class for that attack instead of the normal +1 bonus.

In addition, you can choose to make a special attack as a bonus action when you make an attack with a parry weapon, a pommel strike:

•          Pommel Strike. On a hit, the target cannot take reactions until the beginning of its next turn. This attack deals bludgeoning damage equal to your Strength modifier (or Dexterity if the weapon has the finesse property) instead of the normal damage for the weapon.
