[QUOTE="Undrave, post: 7846282, member: 7015698"] The Fighter has the Protection Style, but that clashes with Opportunity Attack, and there's the secret class feature, Sentinel, which is like a Fighting style of its own that was shunted off to the Feats section so everybody else can cannibalize it. Then you have the Cavalier build which has actual marking The Fighter would have been way better at protection if it had been given extra reactions to use and probably Sentinel as a basic feature.
