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.
