The character can generate a natural armour plating around himself that grants him an AR of 16 and 40 additional SDC. The armour is obvious when generated, with an apperance chosen by the character. It takes one action to armour up.
By dropping his AR by 1, the character can heal 6D6 HP and SDC. this takes an action.
The character enjoys a bonus to PS equal to half his current AR (rounded downwards).
If his AR shoukld drop below 8, then this power fails to function for 2D4 hours.
Lost AR recovers at a rate of 1 every hour of rest (armour must not be in use) when the armour is back to full rating, the bonus SDC provided is instantly restored (otherwise it does not heal).
