Effect	“Each step anticipates a strike. Each pivot draws power from the earth. The Tiger does not block, it flows, and the world itself becomes its shield.” Activate this power to enter a flowing, reactive stance. While active, gain increasing defensive bonuses each round as long as you move at least 5 yards and do not become Immobilized. Round 1: Gain +1 Shield Bonus and +1 Parry. Round 2: Shield and Parry increase to +2. Round 3+: If you end your turn adjacent to terrain, solid cover, or a vertical surface, gain 1 Damage Reduction in addition to previous bonuses. These bonuses reset immediately if: You end a turn without moving at least 5 yards, You become Immobilized, Flatfooted, or fall Prone, Or you willingly cancel the stance (Free Action).
