Armored Against Impact

Armored Against Impact (Major) by Stone Gargoyle

The superbeing's body has reinforced bones and extra bone plating which serves as natural shields which block attacks and absorb impacts. This makes the character's body somewhat grotesque (-4 PB).

1. Natural Impact Armor: The superbeing has a Natural AR of 12 at level 1, plus an additional +1 AR at levels 3, 6, 9 and 12. In addition, he ignores the first 20 points of damage and takes only half the remaining damage from falls, physical attacks and melee attacks. Any strike from a physical attack or melee weapon is also automatically parried (no bonuses from PP attribute or skills, only +4 bonus), and if the character chooses to use his bonuses to parry, he gets the additional +4 bonus from the automatic parry but uses up an attack/action to do so. The character also gains a +4 to roll with punch, fall or impact, taking half again damage from physical and melee strikes and reducing damage from falls and explosions to half.
The extra bone mass doubles the character's weight and adds +2d6X10 to SDC.

2. Shield Bash: The character gets increased attack damage when striking using the bone plated areas. A head butt from the character will do 2d6 damage, with backhand strikes with the forearm plating doing 2d4. A body block/tackle does 2d6, with elbow and knee strikes doing 1d6. Add PS damage bonus to all physical strikes.

3. Other Abilities and Bonuses:

+2d4 PE
