Editing Bastion

=='''Lore'''==

<p style="font-size:13px;">[[File:Dwsield2cq9.jpg|thumb|350px]]At the height of the Thri-Kreen War a forward base was built to train a burgeoning group of dwarven soldiers. These soldiers were to meet the demands of the brutal nature of the Thri-Kreen, go where needed to help support the deep fronts of the war and go behind enemy lines. Only when opening their supplies did they discover there was a mishap with the shipment and received only shields, not a weapon in sight. Under the tutelage of [[Thorik Cragstomp]] the dwarves were separated into two divisions. The first would be the Ironclad; an impenetrable fortress of metal and wrought determination. The second were the Volant; an agile fiend of battle who leaps into and out of the fray causing destruction and chaos.The Bastion defended the king of the dwarves while his battle wounds were tended to. The remaining few escorted his failing body back to the The Stand under a veil of secrecy as to not arouse suspicion. A dead king does horrors to moral.</p>

=='''Paths'''==
<p style="font-size:13px;">'''Bastion Cachet:''' Bastions fall under one of two styles of combat; The Ironclad and the Volant. When creating your character, choose one of the two following options.</p>

<p style="font-size:13px;">'''Bastion of The Ironclad:''' The Ironclad Bastion is a stalwart and sturdy pillar of protection, able to protect allies near and far. You physically place yourself between your allies and your enemies, watching foe after foe dash themselves against your implacable guard. Your attacks use Strength, so it should be your highest ability score. Constitution should be your second highest score, as it lends bonuses to powers that reinforce your ability to take damage. Wisdom should be your third highest score as it aids in your ability to keep enemy attention and aid in fulfilling a secondary role as a controller.</p>

<p style="font-size:13px;">If you pick this build, you gain and additional +1 AC when wielding a heavy shield, and adjacent allies gain resist to all damage from attacks made by a creature marked by you equal to your Wisdom modifier. You also gain the Ironclad Interpose power, described further below.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span></p>

<p style="font-size:13px;">'''Bastion of The Volant:''' The Volant Bastion is a specially trained combatant. Schooled in the ways of defense, the Volant knows just where to strike; in the gaps of your guard while he keeps his up. The keen eyes and special training of the Volant allows them to hurl and rebound shields off of unsuspecting enemies. Your attacks use Dexterity, so it should be your highest ability score. Constitution should be your second highest score, as it lends bonuses to powers that reinforce your ability to take damage. Wisdom should be your third highest score as it aids in your ability to keep enemy attention and guide your allies to follow your lead and hit where it really hurts.</p>

<p style="font-size:13px;">If you pick this build, you may treat light shields as though they have the Off-hand weapon property, and allies within 5 squares of you gain a bonus to damage rolls against a creature marked by you equal to your Wisdom modifier. You also gain the Volant Foil power, described further below.</p>
