Aegis of Assault
3rd-level conjuration (Paladin,Warlock,Wizard)
- Casting Time: 1 reaction, which you take when a creature within range succeeds on a melee attack roll that would hit one of your allies
- Range: 30 feet
- Components: V, M (a weapon)
- Duration: 1 round
With a flash of light, you bring instant vengeance to the attacking enemy. As part of the reaction used to cast this spell, you choose to do either one or both of the following:
- Teleport to an unoccupied space, as long as that space is not farther away than you are now from the creature that made the triggering attack.
- Make one melee weapon attack against the attacker if it is within reach. You can use your spellcasting ability instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of this attack if you choose. If that attack hits, it deals an extra 1d4 radiant damage.
If you are unable to do either one, the spell ends.
Otherwise, after the triggering attack is resolved, you mark the creature who made that attack until the end of your next turn. While it is within 5 feet of you, a creature marked by you has disadvantage on any attack roll that doesn't target you. This spell ends early if you are incapacitated or you die, or if someone else marks the creature.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the range increases to 60 feet, and the extra radiant damage inflicted with the melee weapon attack increases by 1d4 for each slot level above 3rd.
