What's up, RMers?

Ahzoh, I'm not really convinced that you would get a physical defense bonus while being at close-combat range, especially because it depends on whether you're a knight, a priest, an archer, a thief or anything else. For a knight it would be normal to attack an enemy at a close range but if he gets too close it would be difficult for him to slash the enemy due to the lack of necessary space to move properly. Besides not all swordsmen or knights have shields and they mostly depend on their weapons to block the attacks and their armors rather on their shields. I know there are games where a swordsman or knight may dash the enemy with their shields but these would be an offensive move not a defensive one. I think it's not that easy to determine such pluses without improperly affecting the players' game experience.
