Gladiator

Every time you are hit with a melee attack while wielding a shield, you perform a counterattack. Can happen only once per turn.

Gladiator is a gift bag talent, added by the Divine Talents feature.

Overview

Gladiator allows the character to automatically counterattack once per turn when struck by a melee attack. The character must have a shield equipped. The counterattack deals full weapon damage.

Strategy

Gladiator is a reactive defensive talent whose value depends on how frequently the character is targeted by melee attacks. Shield-bearing front-line characters benefit most.
The once-per-turn limitation reduces its value compared to consistently proactive offensive talents.
The shield requirement limits this talent to Single-Handed builds.

Notes

The internal talent ID is `Gladiator`.
