Description

You assume a cautious stance, ready to block any blows.

Mechanics

This is a Martial Stance. While in this stance, you gain an additional chance to block attacks. This chance activates 75% of the time at Rank 1, and is automatic at Rank 2 or greater. You suffer an attack strength (AS) penalty of -35 at Ranks 1 and 2, and -20 at Rank 3.

Rank 1: 75% chance to get a second block attempt, -35 AS
Rank 2: 100% chance to get a second block attempt, -35 AS
Rank 3: 100% chance to get a second block attempt, -20 AS
