Effect The favored thrall launches themselves in the way to shield their master from harm. They immediately Stride into a space adjacent to the vampire who would be damaged, moving as close to the incoming attack as possible. The favored thrall is dealt the triggering damage, rather than the vampire.

Body Shield◆

The favored thrall Strides up to their speed, ending their move adjacent to Ilnaphrae or Xarbaene. Until the beginning of their next turn, they grant any adjacent vampires a +1 circumstance bonus to AC, as they use their body as a shield. This bonus is in addition to any bonuses granted by cover they would provide.

Effect: Body Shield
