Defensive Fighting

Description
Defensive Combat Stance: While using Defensive Fighting mode, you gain a 5% bonus to Armor Class and a -5% penalty to-hit.
This is the standard defensive stance and is granted automatically to all characters. Casting a spell ends this mode.
Notes
Entering this stance will cause you to end any other stances you may have active, and also dispel any rage or recklessness effects currently present on your character.
