Cavalier Warding Maneuver really works like this...?

[Chevallaine]

So if you, an ally, or a mount is struck by an ATTACK while within 5' of you, you may use your reaction to "deflect" it by rolling a 1d8, adding it to the target's AC, and then grant them resistance even if the attack still hits.

Judging by the wording, ATTACK by itself could mean melee, ranged, or spell attacks (Actual attacks and not saving throws).

I am reading this correctly, yes? It feels very... awesome.

What game are you talking about, and what edition of that game?

5th Ed. D&D -- Cavalier Sub-Class of FighterBest bet is to ask that question here: D&D 5E/Next (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?63-D-amp-D-5e-Next). Got a whole subforum for that stuff.

Myself, I'm mostly a 2E player, so I can't really help you out much. Best of luck, though! :smallwink:

Yes you are reading it correctky. It is ok ish because you only have one reaction per turn. So... Yeah. It's basically the same as the fighter defensive style were he can impose disadvantage on one attack roll as a reaction. It really isn't great, but its ok.
