The unlife of the Damned is dangerous, far more so when venturing into unknown or enemy territory. The best defense against the attacks of rivals and enemies is not being tougher or faster or better armed, but evading attack altogether.
Many nomads are masters of such evasion, preferring to avoid a fight than being forced into a defensive posture. In a foreign city or in the wilderness, however, a roaming vampire probably doesn’t have access to all her usual resources. It’s therefore important to get everything possible from those on hand. This Devotion was developed for just such eventualities; it allows a vampire to lend some of her own physical prowess to followers. A bolstered defender can hold back an attacker for precious moments, allowing the vampire to escape before having to summon her own Resilience.
