Drain defences [minor] by Iczer

'Bulletproof huh? don't look like it to me'

The character has the ability to weaken the delicate molecular bonding between items to allow his blows to become more deadlier, not by increasing damage, but by lowering defense.
Every time the character strikes a target, the target experiences weakness and disruption. Living beings with natural AR's must save (14+ PE bonuses count) or lose 2 AR upon contact. Inanimate objects, as well as characters transformed into artificial substances, have no such save, and take an additional damage equal to 5 per level. If worn body armor is struck, it's AR is lowered and the extra damage is applied to the armor only. If the armor is blown through with this extra damage, then the person inside remains unharmed. Force fields of any sort block this power Living characters recover lost AR at a rate of 1 per 5 minutes.
