====Bulwark Stance====
''don't do us the favour''

This is a terrible charm. While it theoretically might let you defend against many attacks at full pool, in the vast majority of situations, it's not going to be as good as Full Dodge + Dipping Swallow, since it'll provide less dice. Unless it's a very large number of attacks, just using Dipping Swallow is better, since you'll still get your action. You can't even combo it, so forget comboing it with Shadow Over Water for a poor man's stacked persistent. Even if you do end up using it once or twice (say, you have Flow Like Blood already up and want to parry a thousand arrows or something), do yourself a favour and buy Fivefold Bulwark Stance as soon as you can, since it's better in every way.
