Powers

ShieldDefense GrantCover.png Phalanx Fighting

Close proximity to your allies allows you to both protect them and to deflect attacks much easier. Any teammates who remain nearby gain a bonus to their defense, while simultaneously giving you a small bonus to your melee, ranged and area of effect defense. Each additional teammate will grant a smaller bonus. This power is always on and costs no endurance.

(Note: Preferably, both the self +DEF and the team +DEF from multiple sources should diminish. The team +DEF could simply not stack from multiple sources but that A: makes more than one /Shield less useful and B leads to problems of power priority (the game to the best of my knowledge doesn't have a "pick highest value" option)

ShieldDefense TrueGrit.png True Grit

Your intense training has left you defiant to the very end. You gain additional hit points and resistance to fire, cold, energy, negative energy and toxic damage sources at all times. However, as your health drops, you gain an increased defense and regeneration rate. This power is always on and costs no Endurance.
