Black Belt
An advanced martial artist blocks an incoming strike and answers a miss with a free, unpenalized counterattack.
Many martial arts schools use colored belts to differentiate skill levels. Above all is the black belt, an advanced practitioner who can counter any attack.
Blocking Counterattack [Reaction] Trigger A creature within the black belt's reach targets them with a melee attack; Effect The black belt blocks, gaining a +2 circumstance bonus to their AC against the triggering attack. If the attack misses, the black belt retaliates with a Strike. This Strike doesn't count toward the black belt's multiple attack penalty, and the multiple attack penalty doesn't apply to this Strike.
