Weapon Defense (Talent)

While in this stance whenever you make an attack with a weapon you may reduce the cost of your next block by 1 AP. Additionally, you may wield your weapon as a shield (of equivalent size.) While wielding the weapon in this way, you may block for normal cost and roll its weapon dice +2 to determine your block value for the weapon. If the toughness of your weapon expires, you can no longer block with this weapon.
