Defense is an additional +1 AC only while in armour.B) You require 2 or more hostile creatures, so you only "break even" with the Defense style once you have 2 or more creatures beside you.I understand why you wish to create a shield wall, but you'd be better off simply creating a special Action to form a Shield Wall, than automatically allowing it as part of a fighting style. Also, again, there is a style which JUST gives +1 AC while in armour, you're already looking to bring in power creep by granting that +1 AC on top of further benefits. You gotta work on your balance a bit, you're too keen to make new styles that are more powerful.</blockquote>
