Block/Guard ability

In combat would be nice to have this "block" ability too. Players could choose between attacks and block. Block would reduce all incoming attacks to *half*.
This would make combats more tactical.

I don't think that would be a very good skill. Everyone would just kind of have that at the very start. If you can use that skill more than once, it would just make the battles too long as it will take too long for the monsters to be killed.
I think your defensive idea is good for more tactical battles but the idea for this particular skill, I'd have to disagree for now.

No common combat skill. It must be fift skill and all monsters should have it from start.

What would be the point though? You take less damage but don't do any, you will just lose really slowly lol

and with these overpowered mystery talents like technician, adaptability, etc... even a defensive move wouldn't mean much. and besides they already have defense increasing moves (full stomach, rock armor, etc...) that you could use if you really think they would help you (they wont)

Yep, yep. Correct me if im wrong, all defencive skills in game wont give both defense same time and they add it so little that it wont have effect almoust at all.

This would make dots playable and for team match you wont lose right away if both your monsters are weak against opponents.
