IMMOVABLE

Effect: Defense

Action: Reaction

Range: Personal

Duration: Permanent

Cost: 1 point per rank

You’re especially resistant to being moved by attacks. You gain a +4 bonus per rank against all attempts to push, rush, trip, or throw you, and reduce the distance you are knocked back by an attack, adding your Immovable rank to your knockback modifier (see Knockback, page 165).

Additionally, when you’re struck with a slam attack (see Slam, page 158), you suffer less damage while your attacker suffers more! For each rank of Immovable, 1 point of damage bonus from the slam attack is shifted from you to your attacker, up to half the attack’s total damage bonus. So a +12 slam attack against a target with Immovable 8 shifts 6 points of damage (or half) back to the attacker; the target suffers +6 damage, while the attacker suffers +12! Slamming into an Immovable target can be even worse than hitting a brick wall.

To gain the benefits of this power, you cannot move more than your normal speed in a round. If you move at accelerated speed (two move actions), your Immovable rank is halved. If you move all out, you lose the benefit of Immovable for the round.

EXTRAS

• Unstoppable (+1): Your speed has no effect on your immovability; you can move all out while retaining your full effect rank. You also subtract your Immovable rank from an opponent’s Immovable rank before determining its effect, including the damage from a slam attack, allowing you to slam Immovable opponents for more damage than usual. You cannot reduce an opponent’s effective Immovable rank below 0.
