Help: Fanatic's Ward Class Fanatic level 9 Usage fanaticsward Description Fanatic's Ward is a self-only defensive stance and one of the two ways to supply the Pulpit Verse for Trigger Psalm. It grants arcane dampening, armor, and ordinary damage reduction. Early versions slightly reduce hitroll while the Fanatic concentrates on survival. Long Sermon The ward becomes cheaper and harder with Walking Pulpit and later milestones: 400: 50 move; the long-road Ward DR bonus begins at +2. 800: 45 move; long-road Ward DR reaches +3. 1250: 40 move; long-road Ward DR reaches +4. 1500: the offensive hitroll penalty is removed and Ward DR reaches +5. 2000: 35 move; long-road Ward DR reaches +6. These path values are added before the Ward's ordinary affect scaling. Rune of the Blood Halo adds another +2 to the path Ward DR, for a path bonus ceiling of +8.
