[QUOTE="Shendorion, post: 6755439, member: 6804078"] There's nothing written in the rules about it, but if it was done on very rare occasions I'd have you spend your reaction to add your STR or DEX bonus to the intended victim's AC. If that would cause the attack to miss, you take the damage from the attack. If it was something you plan on doing on a regular basis, we'd have to sit down and create a feat for you to take that lets you take bullets for your teammates, because damage reassignment is a fairly powerful ability. If it's a narrative thing, whereby you want the character to die protecting the other character, I'd just have you spend an Inspiration and make it so. The fact that you are afraid your DM will "use it against you" suggests that you don't trust him to arbitrate this sort of situation in your favor. Since it requires some homebrewing to do (which is entirely a DM's discretion sort of thing,) I'm not liking your chances. What class is the character you want to use for a protector? Are feats and multiclassing allowed? [/QUOTE]
