Adaptive Defences

Adaptive defences [Major] by Iczer

'Oh yeah, i got you figured out now suckah!'

The character has a hidden pool of physical resources that can be divided around in order to provide optimised defenses. He gains a pool of SDC equal to PEx10 +10 per level which may be used in the following fashion:

• It can be used as SDC (Duh)
• It can provide a resistance to a single type of attack (cutting, bullets, fire) halving the damage from that type of attack. this costs 20 SDC
• The character can lend it to others 1:1 by touching them and transferring it across. it fades from them after 10 minutes +2 per level.
• It can be forged into stiffened armour, providin AR 12 for 15, AR 14 for 20 and AR 16 for 30. it can enhance existing natural AR to 18 by spending 10 points per point.

This pool of SDC heals at a rate of 1 point per hour (plus any PE bonus he may posess); this is doubled while asleep.

By defualt this power is 'invisible'. When selected the character may opt for it to be a visible, hardened sheath that may be exuded at will. Such a hardened sheath has an SDC of PEx15 +15 per level, and recovers twice as fast but has the following additions:

• Reduces spd by 25% and PP by 4
• Adds 25% to the character's weight
• Can be lent to others but at half duration and at half rate (2 SDC grants the target 1)
• Does not work when not active.
