Is this because many creatures no longer have spells but instead use "magical" attacks and abilities?There are about 40+ spells (sorry, this is an estimate from a quick scan) that meet this criteria for <a href="https://a5e.tools/node/2622" target="_blank">Reactive Ward</a>. As an example, the <a href="https://a5e.tools/node/1713" target="_blank">Lich</a> has the following spells that would be affected: Fire bolt; Thunderwave; Fireball; Confusion (still useful for protecting yourself); Disintegrate; Finger of Death; Power Word Stun (still useful for protecting yourself).There are many other maneuvers (see Tempered Iron) that are "anti magic" in nature and if you're in a low magic campaign you're likely going to avoid this tradition as it's maneuver's become niche. <a href="https://a5e.tools/node/2622" target="_blank">Reactive Ward</a> has more utility by my estimate and is solid. Based on games I have been playing over the last decade I'd say this tradition would be adding a lot of value to a group of adventures, particularly this maneuver.</blockquote>
