## Overview
Adds a note tag that changes defensive skills.

## How to Use
1. Create the skill you want to use as a defensive skill.
2. Write <Defensive Skill: Evade> in the note. (This will change Defense to
Evade.)
3. When combat begins， Defense will switch to Evade.
* Items can also be set in the same way.

You can specify the defensive skill by skill name or skill ID.
As an added bonus， you can also change the attack skill by adding <Attack
