Power³

• Applies Heroic Shield; Only the ward (guard) portion of the ability, none of the bonuses requiring Knight levels, to the target.

• Defensive Mastery: Gives both ward and self 50% phys DI for 1 round

Spell Interactions

• Lifeline: Protection Domain Clerics can cast Raise Dead or Resurrection on a living target to apply a Lifeline to that target for the duration of 60 minutes. If the affected creature reaches -10 hitpoints during the effect, they fall to the ground unconscious instead of dying, and are raised or resurrected one round later with the Greater Sanctuary effect applied (Similiar to a God save).

• Other creatures can only benefit from Lifeline once per rest. Note that this is the creature's rest, not the Cleric's.
• The Cleric cannot use Lifeline on themselves.
• This ability only works with other Player Characters; NOT with summons, companions, mobs or NPCs of any sort.

• Shield: Minimum Force Damage Reduction increases from 1/- to 3/-.
