Defending was a weapon quality that let a magical weapon aid its wielder in defense.[2]

Powers[]

The wielder could choose to transform the weapon's magical enhancement into a defensive barrier, making it harder for foes to hit the weapon's wielder.[2]

Creation[]

A spellcaster needed the shield or shield of faith spells to create a weapon with this quality.[2]
