PROTECTION
Effect: Defense
Action: Reaction
Range: Personal
Duration: Permanent
Cost: 1 point per rank
You’re particularly resistant to harm. You gain a bonus on your Toughness
saving throws equal to your Protection rank.
EXTRAS
• Impervious (+1): Your Protection stops some damage completely.
If an attack has a damage bonus less than your Protection rank, it
inflicts no damage (you automatically succeed on your Toughness saving
throw). Penetrating damage (see page 112) ignores this modifier;
you must save against it normally. This modifier can also be applied
to the Toughness save bonus from Constitution (costing 1 point per
+1 save bonus made Impervious).
FLAWS
• Ablative (–1): Damage chips away at your Protection. Each time
it provides its bonus, it loses 1 power point of effectiveness. When
reduced to 0 character points, it no longer protects you at all. This is the
same as the Fades flaw (see page 114).
• Limited (–1): Your Protection applies to only one of a broad type of
damage (physical or energy). If your Protection applies to only one of
a narrow type of damage (edged weapons, blunt weapons, electricity,
fire, magic, etc.) it has a –3 modifier.
