Is Blade Ward Good?
Overall Rating: Red. This means that blade ward isn’t going to contribute to the effectiveness of your character build at all.
Overall Notes: The only time this is worth it is if you know for a fact you're going to be taking bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing from a weapon in the next turn which isn't a common occurrence. Otherwise, if you find yourself in a tricky situation and need to mitigate damage for a turn, take the Dodge action.
