Tweaked from 5eYou already know this as 5e Protection From Energy (likely) — It's your closest analog to gaining damage resistance, but instead of warding one element for an hour it's an at-will defensive stance that blunts all incoming weapon damage (kinetic/energy/ion) only until the end of your next turn. ✨
Take a defensive stance granting resistance to kinetic, energy, and ion weapon damage until the end of your next turn.
