Description
Blank your mind to avoid warding spells.
Mechanics
You have a chance based on your
Armor Group to avoid
warding spells. Warding spells that you avoid while in an aggressive
stance have a
(15 + (20 * Rank))% chance of being redirected to another target in the room or back to the caster. If you fail to avoid a warding spell, you have a chance equivalent to your
avoidance % to add
(Level / 5) to Generic
Target Defense (TD) for 15 seconds. Avoidance chance is 9% in Cloth, 7% in Leather, 5% in Scale, 3% in Chain, and 1% in Plate per rank.
