Defender

Some Free Peoples characters have the Defender keyword. During the assignment phase, when the Free Peoples player is assigning minions to skirmish his companions and allies, he may assign one extra minion to skirmish a character that has the Defender +1 keyword. Defender +2 allows that character to defend against two additional minions. Defender modifiers are cumulative, so that if an event or phase action conferring Defender +1 is played upon a character that already has the Defender +1 keyword, that character is now Defender +2 (at least for the duration of that event or phase action).
