Adds a new class evolution for Bulwark, the Knight.
As a knight, you learn how to protect the weak and vanquish evil.
You gain:
Spirit Horse Talent - Sustain. Gain shield and movement speed while active.
Spirit Horse Category

  - Lance Charge: Charge toward target location and gain speed buff. Damage increases with movement speed.
  - Knight's vow: Passively increases defensive stats and regenerate stamina on blocking.
  - Tactical retreat: Retreat and gain movement speed
  - Hammer and Anvil: Knock back the target, dealing massive damage if the target collides with a wall. Damage increases with movement speed.

Knight Training Category

  - Grand strategy: Gain wild speed on active.
  - Tower of steel: Gain pin resist and physical damage increase if you wear heavy armor.
  - Well fitted: Gain defensive stats if you wear heavy armor.
  - Chivalry: More damage on counterstrike.

Original author is koa. Talent descriptions proofread by me. Also cancels the stun and damage on spirit horse being disabled. Even though it's fitting, it's way too debilitating (50% health loss and 5 turn stun)

• WARNING* This addon is NOT compatible with the story mode, it won't crash the game or anything but will turn some factions hostile. If you want to buy spells in the main story you can *Disable* this mod -in game- ("Main menu" > "addons") and install my addon below!

• EDIT* The Npc AkaviriBlade was added to prevent players from making it too far in to the storymode just to encounter a hostile faction preventing you from completing the game! There is no reason what so ever why you would even want to play the storymode with this addon... If you want to buy spells in storymode then disable this addon and download my other addon "Spell Merchants"...

Big thanks to hunter on te4.org for testing features and giving feedback! This addon would not have been possible without him!

Adds the 'Technique/Shield tactics' talent tree as a new generic category available to Bulwarks. Starts locked at 1.3 mastery, and requires Con.

1)Tempered Will:
While your shield is raised you become a nearly impenetrable wall of metal and pure grit, able to divert some of the force of even non-physical assualts.
While Block is active, you will gain X% Physical resistance and Y% of all non-Physical incoming damage will be converted to Physical damage. Damage conversion is improved by your Spell Save, and Physical resistance by your Constitution.

2)Relentless Retaliation:
Each time you fully block incoming damage, you gain X% attack speed for one turn. This effect can stack up to 8 times. The effect improves with Dexterity.

3)Tactical Defense:
Each time you fully block incoming damage, you use the tactical advantage to reduce the remaining cooldown of your inscriptions. This will reduce the cooldown of a random inscription by one turn, and can occur at most X times per turn. This value improves with Constitution.

4)Reflexive Block:
You are unmatched in your ability to react with your shield. If an attack would deal damage greater than X% of your maximum life, you raise your shield in an instant, preemptively reducing the damage by Y% of your block value and assuming a blocking stance. This bonus block will not check or trigger Block cooldown. Damage reduction improves with Constitution. This talent has a cooldown.

A modest update to the Bulwark class to make it more viable.
