Bodily resistance: [Minor] by Iczer

'Ow ow and ow....is that all you've got?'

The character's body resists cutting and maiming for as long as his SDC holds out. As long as the character has ANY SDC remaining, it is presumed that all damage has resolved as merely bruising and fatigue. This has a number of practical applications:

1) The character's skin is proof against cutting and peircing. Darts do not penetrate, razorwire does not cut, thorns do not puncture etcetera.

2) The character is immune to shock and stun from otherwise harmless effects. shuriken do not stun him (and if poisoned cannot deliver thier payload) nether do caltrops slow him down. In addition, while he has any SDC remaining, he ignores one point of damage from cutting or impaling wounds per dice. This includes bullets and lasers, but not strictly blunt force.

3) The character also heals SDC at a faster rate, healing one SDC per hour. Becuase damage from attacks get dispersed throughout his entire body and can safely 'shoot himself in the head' or throw himself on a grenade without any extra harm (aside from the raw damage though).

4) These abilities vanish as soon as he is depleted of SDC
