A paladin equipped with this amulet has the option to Guard up to a total of two characters.
Guard
Melee damage inflicted on the wearer as the result of an attack intercepted via guard is reduced by 2 points per attack. This item does not mitigate damage if the paladin was the original target of the attack, even if the paladin is guarding another character.
Once per game, wearer has the option to guard one additional character in one room.
When guarding, the wearer gains +2 Damage Resistance against melee attacks redirected to the wearer from any guarded character(s). It does not add DR to any attack/effect that was not redirected via guard. This bonus guarding DR is in effect throughout the entire adventure, not just one room.
