Defender

Defender [minor] by Iczer

'Hold fast none shall get by me'

The character can turn his defenses inward, strengthening his body temporarily. As an action, he may gain a reserve SDC bonus of 50 that last until his next action, or until the next round of actions (whichever comes first). He cannot move more than 10 feet when he does this. The character can use this as a defense, making a roll with punch/fall/impact to absorb damage with the bonus SDC rather than taking half damage. This requires an action to perform. When the duration ends, the bonus SDC goes away, but it returns in full when a new action is made to do so. This SDC must be whittled away to harm the character, and can be used to resist point blank explosives and close range firearms normally.
