Feat · Rules Tome 2.0.8 § 603.3
Defend
Redirect a strike or action from an adjacent friendly Character to this Character.
How it works
Full rule
Limited React: After an adjacent friendly Character is targeted by a strike or action, make a DC 20 Defend check. On success, redirect it to this Character if the redirection remains legal.
At the table
Example
When the friendly Character beside the defender is targeted, a successful Defend check makes the defender the new target.
Watch for this
Common mistake
Defend requires an adjacent friendly Character, not merely a Character in an adjacent rank, and cannot redirect True Strike.
