This maneuver functions like the total defense ability, except that you gain an additional +2 bonus to your Armor defense if you are using a melee weapon. This bonus is considered to come from a shield, and does not stack with the benefits of using a shield. In addition, choose a creature you can see. Whenever that creature misses or glances you with a melee strike this round, it briefly takes a -2 penalty to Armor defense. As normal, this bonus does not stack with itself, even if the same creature misses you with multiple melee attacks. The defense bonus from this ability is Swift, so it protects you from attacks in the current phase. However, the penalty imposed on attackers is not Swift.
