Trigger: An enemy hits you with a melee strike while your shield is lowered.

When an enemy hits you with a melee strike while you're wielding your shield but haven't raised it, spend 1 Reaction Point to jerk it into place just before the blow lands. You immediately Raise Shield, and its bonus counts toward your defense against the triggering attack.
