|bab0=When an ally adjacent to you is attacked, you may use an attack of opportunity to use the [[SRD:Aid Another|Aid Another]] to grant them a bonus to AC. When you do so, you may give up your Shield Bonus to AC and instead grant it the aided ally, this last until the start of your next turn or until the ally is no longer adjacent to you.
|bab1=Whenever you use Steel Vanguard Style to aid an ally's AC, if the attack would hit an ally you may take the attack instead. The attack is redirected from the original target and automatically hit you instead, even if it normally would miss.
|bab6=As a standard action you may enter a defensive stance, in this stance your threatened range become 5 feet per point of BAB you possess. This overwrite your normal threatened range and is not increase by a reach weapon, although your weapons still benefit from reach when attacking. Whenever a creature threaten an attack of opportunity or an ally is attacked, you may move up to your speed to place yourself in reach of the provoking creature or adjacent to your allies to defend them. You may move up to no more than you speed this way in any given round, you may split your movement between multiple uses. The defensive stance last until the start of your next turn, while in defensive stance your threatening range extend from the square you assumed your stance in rather your current position.
