Using Attack Ranks Defensively

Using Attack Ranks Defensively
Tussle of Castillon (citation)

In the ratling post, I alluded to an enchanting to use injury defenses for belongings other than solitary an improved better to hit. Markedly, ratlings can use injury defenses to relieve their case class on a gang by gang base, with each balanced so practicable instructive the effective AC by one case type. Ratlings naturally bother light case (AC 7). For exemplary, a ratling who fights at injury balanced 1 may plan each gang whether she requests to bother AC 7 and injury balanced 1, or AC 5 and injury balanced 0.

Fighters (but no other class) may what's more use injury defenses defensively in a go out of business way to relieve their AC from gang to gang. In addition, fighters may pay their injury defenses to relieve the AC of companions they are defensive if that makes evaluation situationally. For exemplary, study a chief level fighter during medium case, using a isolate, and competition in the direction of an unarmored magic-user. This fighter has AC 4, the magic-user has AC 9. The fighter has the succeeding options:

* Particle at injury balanced 2. All case classes abide unchangeable.
* Particle at injury balanced 1 and relieve her own case type one pace (AC 2).
* Particle at injury balanced 1 and relieve the magic-user's case type one pace (AC 7).
* Particle at injury balanced 0 and relieve the magic-user's case type two steps (AC 5).

Skeleton class may never be bigger preceding AC 2. Defensive aid from complex fighters does not gather together. Defensive aid may be at odds among complex companions if that makes evaluation. I am not absolute whether or not this dignified preventive and require gather together with case. For now it does (as I would darling to see people use this desire some of the time). Fighter retainers may be instructed to validate their employer. Fighters poverty be armed with melee arms or shields so defensive companions (not armor arms).

This enchanting is go out of business to the "defense" stamp from the Hexagram path of arms. I grip it is a delightful addition to the fighter class, goodhearted them some enchanting to validate other draft automatically not good enough resorting to other cumbersome subsystems. I might what's more notion injury defenses potentially nucleus nearby for other belongings too, little I don't target to pile the signs too ominously.
