Defensive Parry

At 3rd level, an Aldori swordlord gains a +1 bonus to his AC against melee attacks when making a full attack with a dueling sword. This AC bonus increases to +2 at 7th level. If an Aldori swordlord is also a fighter with the Aldori defender fighter archetype, levels in this class stack with his fighter levels when determining the AC bonus from this ability.
