Defender (Magic Sword)

Defender +4: This weapon gives its wielder the option of using all, some, or none of its +4 bonus in defense (improving Armor Class) against any opponent using a handheld weapon, such as a dagger, mace, spear (not hurled), or sword. For example, the wielder can, on the first round of battle, opt to use the sword as +2 and save the other 2 bonus factors to be added to Armor Class. This can be done each round.
Note that there is also a defender +5. This is identical to the +4 sword with 1 extra bonus point.
