Intercept

Category: Prestige

Prerequisites: Level 15 Hearth Guard

  • Level 15: Hearth Guard

As the dodge/intercept skill, but only usable as an intercept.

This skill can be used to take on an attack which would have otherwise struck another being. To use the Intercept skill, the player must be within arm’s reach of the original target of the attack and can reach out and touch the target stating “Intercept” loudly enough for those around the player including the attacker to hear. The attack is deemed to have successfully struck the interceptor, so facing doesn't matter in the case of an Assassinate or other Sneak Attack. After that, the interceptor may use a valid defense against the attack, other than Dodge, Evade, or Feint. For example, a Parry or Shield Block could not defend against an intercepted Assassinate but could defend against an intercepted Critical Strike. An applicable Spell Shield or Cheat death could be used against an intercepted Assassinate.
