Being that you can only apply it to normal attacks, switching him to the target after only matters for a few things (Deepwyrm Drow, anything else?). You could switch him to target before defense and clean up the language but that obviously makes the power much stronger. It doesn't protect quite as well against ranged squads but seems like it could be decent against even melee squads since he can switch his charge out of harm's way. Cool hero in any case.

These are great points, I was thinking the same thing on multiple points but was too tired to post before going to bed last night. Switching him before the attack would represent him throwing himself in front of the individual and then rolling dice. From theme and mechanics this would work better. Otherwise this is a simple yet fun design for a bodyguard.
