Parrying Dagger 5 gp 1d4 piercing 1 lb. Finesse, light, special.

Also called a main-gauche, a dagger with a slightly longer and broader blade than usual, with a dull edge and sharpened tip, and an unusually long cross-guard. It is used as a defensive side arm in dueling and fencing.

Special. You can use a bonus action to use this dagger defensively. Until the start of your next turn, as a reaction against taking damage from a melee weapon, you can reduce the damage taken by an amount equal to 1d4¹.

1. You can add your Dexterity modifier to that damage reduction if you have the Fighting Style two-weapon fighting.
