Soaking Skill by Stone Gargoyle

The superbeing can cause his energy expulsion powers to soak up the first 5 points of similar energy damage at level one, plus 5 points per level, from an energy expulsion attack. This is useful for characters with no immunity or resistance to energy expulsion attacks. The type of energy must be the same or similar to the characters own (so no light expulsion characters can absorb darkness attacks or cold, but could absorb fire, electricity,or lasers). A failed roll means the character takes normal damage from the attack. Base Skill: 20%, plus 4% per each additional level.
