Righteous Defense in Hearthstone.

"Only a paladin would be foolish enough to run into combat blindly. Then again, only a paladin would be that brave." - Deacon Markus Hallow

Righteous Defense is a method for Paladins to temporarily taunt NPCs. When cast on a friendly target, it randomly selects up to three enemies attacking that target and casts the Righteous Defense taunt on them.
