Overhaul Changes
- In a reasonably good place now engine has some bug fixes (when the ability is disabled)
- Could have ways to replenish the uses of Defensive Stance, or for easier difficulty/as an option turn off the limits entirely
We might add in Dwarvern Waraxe as a free feat for Dwarfs which would make this an even more tempting choice.
Overhaul Description
(PRESTIGE CLASS) The defender is a sponsored champion of a dwarven cause, a dwarven aristocrat, a dwarven deity or the dwarven way of life. As the name might imply, this character is a skilled combatant trained in the arts of defense. A line of dwarven defenders is a far better defense than a 10-foot-thick wall of stone, and much more dangerous. - Hit Die: d12 - Proficiencies: Simple and Martial Weapons, Light, Medium and Heavy Armor Proficiency, Shields - Skill Points: 2 + Int Modifier. - Primary saving throw(s): Fortitude, Will - Base attack bonus: High (+1 per level) REQUIREMENTS: Alignment: Any lawful.
