What it does

While your guard is up (held, Shield-Wall or Shield-Fort), you Cover every friend within 1.6 tiles of you who stands behind your shield's line (on your side, away from the foe): melee blows on them from foes inside your guard's arc land on your shield instead (block math, +1 Brace each).

Edge: Broad Shade

Radius 1.6 -> 2.0 tiles. Honed on a band hunt, not in the ring (R10): land it 3 times with a band member of its tier present.
