Conditional Focus
Trigger Action (Focusing)
Pick an Form. When a power of this form is used in an attempt to inflict harm on you, you can focus. This applies even if the attack failed to harm you. You can pick this power several times in order to gain additional triggers.The damage must come from the environment or from an enemy to let you focus - attacking yourself or having a friend attack does no good. It is ok to set up a situation where you take environmental damage.
Damage Immunity
Stance
Select one subtype of damage when you take this power. You are immune to that subtype of damage. Select a kind of attacks that can penetrate your Resist Wounds ability or a condition when it will not work; typical examples include weapons made of (or incorporating) certain materials (such as silver), or under particular circumstances (such as in daylight). You can take this power several times, picking a new subtype of damage each time.
Impassive
Basic Action
You have the appearance of a mundane object, and you have the ability to give up all movement and function as a mundane object. While Impassive and not moving or taking any action, you can use Dodge to Acting & Disguise to stay in role are Routine. You can start moving as a Basic Action and as a part of that action you can use Dodge to Terrorize observers who are not aware of your true nature.
Quill Retaliation
Trigger Action (Defense)
Your body is covered by sharp quills, and anyone striking you is up for a jarring shock. Use this power as you are hit in close combat. The attacker takes Piercing damage equal to your Body minus his attack outcome. If you use a Body-enhancing technique along with Quill Retaliation, the damage you inflict will not increase.
Regeneration
Stance
You heal one Hit at the end of each round of combat in which you use this stance. You do not regenerate out of combat. This will not reduce the effect of a Damage Setback. You can take this schtick twice to regenerate out of combat, which quickly restores your Hits even when there is not a new scene.
Resist Damage
Inherent
Select one Damage Type when you take this power. Add your Mind to your soak attribute against this type of damage. Select a kind of attacks that can penetrate your resistance or a condition when it will not work; typical examples include attacks based on a specific subtype of the damage type you are resistant to (such as Fire if you are resistant to Disruption damage), weapons made of (or incorporating) certain materials (such as silver), damage caused by effects that are mundane (not from powers). or under particular circumstances (such as in daylight). You can take this power several times, picking a new type of damage each time.
Resist Wounds
Inherent
You cannot take deep wounds and are immune to Damage Setbacks from one damage type. Select a kind of attacks that can penetrate your resistance or a condition when it will not work; typical examples include attacks based on a specific subtype of the damage type you are resistant to (such as Fire if you are resistant to Disruption damage), weapons made of (or incorporating) certain materials (such as silver), damage caused by effects that are mundane (not from powers). or under particular circumstances (such as in daylight). You can take this power several times, each time you do, it applies to a separate damage type.
Varmint
You are a primitive creature directed by some simple directive or instinct. You are immune to social interactions and thus to most stunts and powers targeting your Charm or Impress. You are also unable to use these skills. If a stunt using either of these skills or Create or Ride is made so that it would reasonably affect you, usually a physical trick, you can use Dodge as your defense. You can also use Body to soak Psychic Damage.
