Action: Defense Position | ▼

You move while keeping your shield raised, or in a defensive stance ready for danger.

You gain the benefit of the Parry Action | ◈◈ in the first round of combat, all attack rolls made against you disadvantage until it's your turn. If you have a shield, you gain damage reduction equal to your half-proficiency. Does nothing if you are Off-Guard.

A player may freely refer to this as 'Defense Mode'.
