Ahh, I see what you mean. It helps if I actually read the rules
instead of assuming I remember them correctly. Here's how I would
change it to make more sense:

"When you are attacked, you may declare a Full Defense maneuver at the
expense of sacrificing all of your existing Advantage. The +2 lasts
for that defense roll only, and afterward you will have less Advantage
than your attacker (just as if you were hit in the combat)."

Note that this is how I thought it worked in the first place. :)
