You deflect enemy attacks with greater efficiency. You gain the following benefits:

 

• You gain +2 Shield Bonus to Defense.

   

• When you use Block Reaction, you reduce the damage by d6 instead of 3 (to a minimum of 3).

   

Special: This talent stacks with Shield Combat talent. This means you gain an extra +X to your Shield Bonus, and the die you roll when performing a Block Reaction increases by one size. Use the following die size progression: d6 → d8 → d10.
