guard ability

When you go to counter attack, you can make a hard athletics check to roll to the side of the target, not only giving that target a -1 to their hit chance but also giving you a +1 to your hit chance. 

Whenever you successfully block with your shield, you have a normal react + 2 chance to counter attack.

You can make a normal react check to counter attack the enemy when the enemy attacks you as long as you are in range. You cannot use any skills for this attack.

As long as the space to the left or right is clear, you can make a normal react check to step to the side to try to avoid the hit. This gives the enemy a -2 to Hit Chance.

Anytime there is something you can duck behind or hide behind near you when you are attacked you can make a hard react check to take that cover, giving the enemy a penalty of -3 to hit chance.
