Prerequisites Sturdy Shield
Key Words Archetype / Warrior / Twice per day
Description Twice per day, the character can set their shield, which must be at least 24”/60cm in diameter, and make themselves immune to the call Strength, the spell Strike Down or any other knockdown effect for one minute, as long as they remain within two steps (approximate 5ft/1.5m) of their starting position. If they take more than two steps away, either voluntarily or because they have been caused to move by a spell or other effect, the effect immediately ends.
