Roll With a Punch (5e Variant Rule)

Roll With a Punch

When you are hit by a melee weapon attack that deals bludgeoning damage, you can use your reaction to attempt to turn your body in the direction of the impact to lessen the blow.

When you attempt to roll with a punch, roll 1d6 and add your level. If the result is equal to or greater than the attack's damage, you have resistance to bludgeoning damage for that attack. Regardless of if the attempt succeeds, you have disadvantage on attack rolls on your following turn.
