Description

You gain a +1 bonus to  Armour Class while wearing Armour.

How to learn

Classes:

• Class level 1: Fighter

Used by creatures: Minthara, Har'rak, Ketheric Thorm, Minsc, Skoona, and Zevlor

Notes

• This effect is active while wearing anything marked as Light, Medium, or Heavy armor in any equipment slot.
• This Fighting Style is generally weaker than the other, more specialized Fighting Styles such as Dueling or Archery.
  • It is, however, highly useful for Champion Fighters who get to choose a secondary Fighting Style.
  • Since the benefit of Great Weapon Fighting becomes less effective when paired with Savage Attacker and/or Brace a warrior using two-handed weapons may instead want to take Defence.
