Question

27 – If I use Bamf or Shield Maiden do I get to use my DEF stat to reduce damaged dealt without exhausting my identity? Am I considered to have made a basic defence or used a basic power?

Answer

Yes to all. Shieldmaiden’s wording is a little clearer on this, but Bamf! is intended to work the same, where “declaring X the defender without exhausting” encompasses the character making a basic defense and using their DEF to reduce damage dealt.
