Bulwark of Defense does not work with Stalwart Defender stance

[Ikuryo]

Hit 21 on my Stalwart Defender and decided to pick up Bulwark of Defense as my first epic feat, not having 21con none of the others appealed all that much. So I checked my AC after going into CE stance, 99ac, which was the same as before I got the feat. I played around with it some and found that if I was not in my Stalwart Defender stance turning on CE gained me the 4ac and 2 to all saves, but if I was in my special stance I gained nothing from going into CE beyond its normal benifits.

Unless its counting my Stalwart stance as defensive and adding it when I enter that stance and I'm just not seeing it.

Hmm, I just logged in and my saves look like they are higher then last time I played but I did not change anything. So maybe it just did not apply until I logged out?

Answered it yourself. Bulwark of Defense activates with the Stalwart "Defensive Stance".
