Bullet catcher [minor] by Iczer

'Whoa...that was easier than it looked'

The character has a kind of reactive reflexes, that receives a temporary kick of speed in response to high speed attacks. The upshot of this is that he can deflect thrown knives, arrows and even bullets out of the air, his reflexes matching the speed of the incoming attack.
The character may autoparry any ranged attack that he can A) see and B) lift (no fair parrying thrown automobiles now junior). This auto parry is without penalty. High speed projectiles, even laser blasts can have their spd matched.
The attack is usually deflected by the bare hands. The character can parry with any hand held item or worn hand or arm protection. The item parried with (even the hand) takes 1/10th the normal inflicted damage (though if using an object, then this damage is reduced further by an amount equal to half its AR).
The character gains the following:

+2 to parry
+2 to initiative
+2D6 Spd
+1 attack per melee
