Is that shield mastery or something?<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>As Isengrad mentioned, Interception is a fighting style like Defensive, or Two Weapon Fighting. The basic Design of Pavel (Interception, Heavy Armor Mastery) was built to support a team of 1st levels going into a ‘Horror’ Dungeon. Between Interception and Heavy Armor Mastery (-3 damage per non-magical hit), Pavel absorbed about sixty points of damage. Of course he also used all three 2nd wind rolls, drank two healing potions and was knock unconscious once.<br/><br/>BTW, there is now a Feat that grants a character a Fighting Style, so it is possible for characters other than Fighters, Paladins and Rangers to get the Interception Style.
