Calculated Defense (Aspect)

You’ve learned to time your strikes to throw your opponents off guard while keeping yourself mobile and ready to react.

When you take the Attack action on your turn, but before you roll the attack, you can choose a number no greater than half your Mastery Score. Subtract this number from all attacks you make until the start of your next turn and add the number to your Armor Class. For example, a Level 6 character makes an attack and decides to add the maximum penalty, which is -3. The character then immediately gains a +3 to their AC. You cannot gain the benefits of this Aspect if your movement speed has been reduced to 0.
