As a free action, you draw attention to yourself by bellowing accusations and jeers at nearby enemies, dealing sonic damage to goad them into attacking you. Enemies in a colossal radius must pass a Will save or be forced to attack you for six seconds. In addition, you bolster yourself to grant temporary hit points for the duration of the effect. The DC, sonic damage, and temp HP are all equal to 10 + taunt skill, capping at 45. This ability is on a 30-second cooldown.

The stalwart defender is a sponsored champion of a cause or a way of life. As the name might imply, this character is a skilled combatant trained in the arts of defense. A line of stalwart defenders is a far better defense than a 10-foot-thick wall of stones, and much more dangerous.
