Editing Xia: Twelve Zodiac Stances (section)

=Stance of the Protector Dog=

''The Dog represents loyalty, martial protection and defence. The Dog Form is set up so that the martial artist can protect a friend - he keeps one hand on his friend at all times, and as attacks come in will either move himself into the attacks path or pull his friend out of the way.''

'''Cost:''' 3 Yin Chi to adopt this stance.

'''Keywords:''' ''Stance; Physical;''

'''Effect:''' While in this stance, you can select one friend within reach when you adopt this stance. Whenever that friend is attacked by any physical attack, you can choose to have that attack target yourself instead. When defending the friend in this way or defending yourself, you can channel defensive trigrams (Earth, Mountain, Mist and Water) at no chi cost.

'''Maintain:''' If you break touch-contact with your guarded friend, or of your guarded friend is injured, then the stance immediately ends.
