sorry for necro, been away since Dec last year. I am playing a paladin with patch 9. I am not sure when 'protection' kicks in? I see nearby player shown as covered by it, but never seen clear evidence that it does anything Also, seems not to have a prompt under the 'reactions' menu? Perhaps it's being treated as some kind of paladin aura?
Also - I see that smite *is* listed as a reaction, where as far as I know it is not (you simply choose to smite or not with each attack). I don't care too much since it can be triggered to prompt, but I wonder how representative patch 9 is of the final reaction system?


Just to be clear "reactions" are ingame called Interrupts. Interrupts gives the popup options when certain conditions are met. They may, or may not use a reaction. They may use no resource, a reaction, a spellslot, or any other ActionResource. The name reaction is unclear as it may not use your reaction resource at all. Whats in patch9 (i think) represents whats in the final game, but Larian will (likely) add support for different conditions/functions.
