[[Bulwark]] is a defensive skill that grants [[health]] and some physical invulnerability while reducing damage. Its effect is mostly determined by [[willpower]]. [[Skill mastery]] increases its effect and reduces its [[prevention time]].

From the helpfile:

Usage: bulwark

[[Bulwark]] is a [[forge feat prevention]] [[ability]].

The mighty [[Barbarian|ruanbaere]] has long had a reputation for being single-minded,
stubborn, and thick-headed beyond comprehension. (Graciousness is
certainly a trait they possess as well, for any [[barbarian]] will thank you
sincerely for lavishing such compliments upon him.)

From this steel-plated obstinance springs forth a basic tool in the
successful [[barbarian]]'s arsenal - the [[skill]] of [[bulwark]]. Upon using this
[[skill]], the [[barbarian]] roots both mind and body firmly in place, steeling
himself to be the most unyielding lump of flesh he can possibly be.

This restricted stance yields a slight disadvantage; the [[barbarian]]'s
[[damage]] is lowered somewhat while he is in [[bulwark]]. However, he also
becomes harder to kill and more resilient to simple knives and clubs;
the user instantly gains a boost to [[Health|hit points]] as well as a small
measure of pure physical invulnerability.

The timely use of [[bulwark]] has saved many an overextended [[barbarian]],
and its [[Health|hit point]] boost can be a welcome salve to the wounds of
extended battle. Note, however, that a [[barbarian]] who is [[Berserk|berserking]]
or [[insanity|insane]] does not have the presence of mind to initiate this
[[ability]] - it must be used beforehand or not at all.

The power of [[bulwark]] is based on the user's [[willpower]]; its [[duration]] is
constant. [[Bulwark]]'s [[prevention time|prevention]] is short but cannot be reduced by stats
alone. [[skill mastery|Mastery]] in this [[ability]] beyond 100% increases its power further,
and can slightly reduce its [[prevention time|prevention]] as well.
