Must mark target with a vow to protect

Body shield: any physical attacks on the ward instead roll against the yukatsa's full defense (toughness+armor) and the yukatsa receives the stun and wound instead of the ward.
Shielding vow: any magical attacks on the ward instead roll against the yukatsa's WIL. If the yukatsa normally succeeds, the magical attack suffers -3 against the ward; special success means -6; exceptional means -9; critical means -12. If the attack hits 0, it is negated completely. If it goes into negative numbers, it is sent back at the caster.
Locate ward: the yukatsa can know the direction and distance to their ward is at any moment, no matter how far away they are.
Aura of protection: if the yukatsa has three or more wards within 20', they can extend an aura of protection against all attacks at a power equal to their WIL+STR for up to 3 rounds. This barrier will not cause wounds to the yukatsa, but the yukatsa will have a -1 per point of damage repelled to WIL and/or STR for a round. If this takes them to 0 or below, they are not killed, but are stunned for the round.
Counterguard: in place of a counter attack, a yukatsa may choose to add +3 to their next parry, dodge, toughness, or defensive WIL roll.
Meek reflection: if the yukatsa protects anyone nearby, even if not a ward, who has a STR or WIL below 8, they will gain a bonus equal to the difference between the protectee's STR or WIL and the yukatsa's to their respective stat for the next round. This only works if the protectee is not an exploiter, oppressor, abuser, or wielder of infernal powers.
