Defense measures a character’s ability to avoid, resist, or endure physical and magical harm. It includes dodging, blocking, parrying, and using cover or armor effectively. Characters use Defense to survive attacks, maintain position, and protect allies. It’s essential for frontline combatants, guardians, and anyone who needs to stay standing under pressure.
