Racial Power

Once per battle, reroll a melee attack and use the roll you prefer as the result.

Note that you can’t use this ability if the attack drops you to 0 hp or below. You’ve got to be on your feet to sneer at their attack and recover.

  • Champion Feat:

    If the lethal attack reroll is a natural 16+, you can use lethal again later this battle.
