Name	Stalwart
Cost	12 points
Prerequisites	Warrior, Body Development, Great Shield, Defender
Key Words	Archetype / Warrior / Stamina
Description	The character has mastered a combat style which focuses on defence and holding ground. This skill gives access to the following abilities: For 2 stamina per use, call Mundane Strike Down with a melee weapon attack, melee weapon block, or shield block. For 2 stamina per use, call "I'll save you!" to redirect one single-target ranged spell from a target within 1.5m (5') to themselves. The character must be aware of the spell; only a character who also has the skill Sense Magic may use this ability against a covertly cast spell. If the character has any relevant immunities or would normally be able to resist the spell, they may do so. For 10 stamina per use, for the next minute the character is immune to the following effects, whether mundane or magical: - Command - Fear (but not Terror) - Suggestion - Any knockdown effects (but not any associated damage or other effect) - Repel - Sleep - Enthral Note: Countering takes precedence over redirection; if in the confusion of battle one player uses "I'll save you!" while another counters the same spell, the spell effect does not occur and the stamina points are not spent. Note: The number of stamina points the character receives each day depends on how many skills they know that use them, see Magic Points, Stamina and Work Units. Note: Pinnacle Skill — a character may only have one Pinnacle skill.
Progression	None
