Aegis Empowerment

When you take this Discipline at 3rd level, you enhance your Aegis abilities.

When you reach certain levels in this class, the dice to reduce damage increases to 3d4 at 7th level and 4d4 at 15th level.
  • Aegis of Assault: While this Aegis is active, when another creature you can see within 30 feet of you gets hit by a melee attack, you can use your reaction to teleport to an unoccupied space adjacent to them. You can then make a weapon attack against the attacker. If you hit, you deal additional force damage equal to your Intelligence modifier.
