Reaction Trigger
{{{reaction}}}
|}} {{#if: This is a Martial Stance. When you are struck by a melee attack while in a forward or greater stance, you have a chance to respond with a free reactive shield bash. This bash deals no damage, but instead knocks your opponent off-balance and into greater roundtime (RT). The chance to react is 50%/ 75%/ 100% at Ranks 1/ 2/ 3. Larger shields apply a penalty to the reaction chance (-5% per shield size above small), but apply more RT upon a successful bash. Shield Ripostes are limited to one every (6 - Rank) seconds.
- Rank 1: 50% chance to react, one reactive bash per 5 seconds
- Rank 2: 75% chance to react, one reactive bash per 4 seconds
- Rank 3: 100% chance to react, one reactive bash per 3 seconds
