Shield Maiden d% 072
Ability (Max Rank 3)
Rank Progression
1
You can attempt to deflect an attack made on an adjacent target. You must be adjacent to the attacker also. This deflect action provokes threat.
2
You gain a +1 on your deflect rolls with your shield.
3
As a reaction you can choose to have your shield destroyed to absorb and negate a directional attack that you might have a chance at deflecting. A magical shield gains the broken condition rather than the destroyed condition. A broken magical shield is destroyed. A broken normal shield is destroyed, and you take half the effect. If the source effect is particularly potent, you may still take half damage(GMs discretion).
You have mastered a distinctive fighting style combining agility with shield defense.
Effect
Your unique shield combat techniques allow you to defend effectively while remaining mobile and dangerous.
