Firebrand Bastion
Blocking a hit here is only step one — this defender turns a Shield Block into a shove that sends the attacker crashing ten feet back.
A Firebrand bastion is a living wall, planting themself between danger and the people behind them and turning every blocked blow into a chance to shove an enemy off their feet.
