    Shield Wall Order Ability

    If two knights with the shield wall ability are standing next to each other, do they get the standard plus 2 to defense or do the bonuses stack to a plus 4?

    I think this is a call for the Narrator to make. I can see how stacking the bonuses would make sense--you're covering your buddy and he's covering you.

    But I think if I were narrating it, I'd just give the pair of knights one +2 bonus, and not stack them.

    My first instinct is to agree with Ineti on this one. Let me double-check with TPTB, though.

    Sorry about that, aelius, thougth I'd posted that...

    The official response is that the +2 bonus does not stack. Mind you, a Knight can confer this bonus on any companion who is fighting by their side while using a shield, whether they are a knight or not.
