I know this class will never really get fixed as far as its Def Stance goes. Asked for years that it just get the basic Rage treatment of converting it to Damage/AB, Saves and Temp HP instead of stats. Alas, an idea came up in chat today as a joke i think and i kinda fell in love with it. It wont fix Def Stance, but rather give the dwarven defender something to use instead.

Unyielding Rage10 Barbarian Levels
A focused Barbarian rage that channels their fury into raw speed, ignoring wounds as they blitz around the battlefield.

+1 Regeneration per 4 Barbarian levels.
+1 Dodge AC per 6 Barbarian levels, capped at +4 AC.
+1 Fortitude save per 8 Barbarian levels, capped at +3.
+1 Will save per 8 Barbarian levels, capped at +3.
+1 Reflex save per 8 Barbarian levels, capped at +3.
+3 Hit Points per Barbarian level.
+1 AB per 8 Barbarian levels, capped at +3.

Now the wonder here is if the widget for spells could be used for this rage? If so, setting it at lvl 24 would emulate the Def Stance rather well. Then it's a simple matter of having it set to X uses per day based upon the builds Stance uses.

Bam! Dwarven Defender fixed?

I could dig it. Other than that basically makes it a lawful barbarian; but it's not like that has ever not been its job, and it's also not like it's somehow mechanically superior over the other due to the more limited rage option.

Tagging an ability with similar stats would be a good idea.

The spell widget can't cop the scripted rage, unfortunately.

Damn, thought i was onto something. Sorry Mr Defendor.

Thanks for the thinking of us!

We are still hoping this will get retooled into something that reliably works someday!

Hey, look on the bright side; for the moment it's a nice handy bit of dodge AC in a pinch!
