Stance
| Level: | Placid Lake 3 |
| Prerequisites: | One Placid Lake technique |
| Action: | 1 swift action |
| Range: | Personal |
| Target: | You |
| Duration: | Stance |
You sit unmoving as ripples lap against your still form. Your serenity builds, and aggression shatters itself upon your presence.
While you maintain this stance, your enemies feel a sense of imperturbable tranquility around you. Your opponents treat all squares you threaten as difficult terrain.
In addition, while you are under the effect of Stillness, you gain a +1 bonus to AC, CMD, and saving throws. If an opponent targets you or includes you in the area of an attack, spell, ability, or other effect more than once during the same round, this bonus increases by +1 for each additional time that opponent does so beyond the first. For example, if an enemy makes a full attack against you with three attacks, you would gain +1 AC against the first attack, +2 AC against the second attack, and +3 AC against the third.
