DoS and SD stances//Knockdown immunity?

[AmatsukaIncarnate]

Okay so the not so new stances are pretty cool.

However, I wished that the stances included some knockdown immunity...perhaps not to ALL knockdowns in the game but from certain types of knockdowns which I think make sense from a flavor standpoint.

A dwarven SD in full plate probably can't deal with slippery surfaces without extensive training or the knockdown caused by immense wind pressure from a powerful air elemental or djinni. I do think though, that a DoS or SD could weather the blows of a giant's club or a marilith's overrun and ect.

So maybe immunity against impact knockdowns is what I'm going for here if that makes sense.
I dunno, its late and it makes sense to me!

I think giving Defenders knockdown immunity would be just another watering down of one of the few Acrobats perks.

If you want knockdown immunity, there's a couple of items that already give this Acrobat ability to any character.

The knockdown immunity should only be available while blocking to make it more balanced. In which case it could make sense to have it work against air elementals too. And it wouldn't reduce the advantage of the acrobats since the defender cannot do any dmg (apart from bashing) if he doesn't want to be knockdown.

Otherwise as someone mentionned above there are some items like the amrath hat that do the job very well.
