That's the tank's role, you're the budding glass cannon, George. Seems like they should both already know that.

The exact game mechanism mentioned is not one I recognize.  But in a Villians & Vigilantes campaign I played back in the 80's, all the characters had ridiculously high movement scores.  We would all hold our actions, wait for the baddies to do something, & then react as if we had all day to plan our response.

New game rules. But though George is aware of what a tank is, he is not aware whether the group's current tank can be trusted to do his job. Speaking from personal experience, just assuming that can at times be... overly optimistic.

The fact that defending makes you use an action, vs a reaction means that The Dan has strayed from 5e, not that he said he was using that.  Protection is a fighting style that fighters and paladins get.  However Paladins don't get fighting styles until 2nd level, which may indicate the the party is 2nd or 3rd level.

 

• Protection. When a creature you can see attacks a target other than you that is within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll. You must be wielding a shield.
