Defend and dodge

A different perspective might be: that given a turn is not an single instant of time but a period of 5 seconds, the Defend option implies an "attitude of defensiveness" not simply a defence against a single attack.

This is justified by the fact that once a figure chooses the Defend option, every subsequent attack is at 4 dice, no matter how many attacks or assailants there are.

So: if I go to attack the Orc, but he's crouching and backing away from me, I might turn and attack his companion who is more obviously aggressive and not defending.
