Disperse impact: [Minor] by Iczer

'Of course bullets will hurt. I'm not invulnerable'

The character's skin stretches the impact zone when touched or attacked, spreading the force over a larger area. The character can roll with even lethal blows from swords and bullets. In addition, damage from any kinetic source is reduced by 5% per level as the force is dispersed over surface area instead of depth.

The character is still vulnerable to massive area affect attacks. Explosions, falls and car crashes do normal damage (it's already spread out).

As a last ditch defence, the character can convert impact into shoving force. If struck, he may halve the damage, but he is subjected to the knock back power (PU3).

These can be combined as the character wishes. It is possible to roll with a hail of gunfire (half damage) reduce the remaining damage by 5% per level, and then negate a further half instantly by being shoved away from it.
