Defend
PAP/MAP Cost: 0/0 Prerequisites: None

Defend is as it sounds...simply defending against an incoming blow. In game terms this means that if the attacker score a hit on you that you have braced yourself for the impact letting your armor, and shield if you have one, take the blow absorbing the damage. You also gain a bonus of +2 per point of strength over your opponents strength to defend verse slam, charge, overrun, bash and stun attacks.
