Not sure which of the last few patches broke dwarven defender since I shelved her since fighter's pretty beefy now, but defensive stance is EXTREMELY broken now.
Something weird happens with the AC, in that my AC actually lowers when I enter the stance, and I'm always flat footed, even in a one on one duel.
I am sneak attacked even by the one I fight and am engaged with in a one on one, and the AC messaging is very odd.
It even lowers my parry AC by one or something, while not conferring the dodge bonus.
I might even be flat footed in it but I'm not sure, I'd think so since I'm being sneak attacked no matter what in it.
Also seems to have more trouble even attacking in it, more than before, was always sluggish but... im not sure on that one either. Took a few rounds to engage.
Lowers my AC with no weapon out as well.
