Kuleneko Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Lets say my guy has 0 PD, 0 ED, 10 BODY and 5 Absorption to STR. He takes an attack worth 5 BODY. Does he lose BODY before the Absorption boosts his strength, or does the absorption negate it entirely? The book wasn't entirely clear on this point.

Steve Long Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 The book says point-blank, "Absorption offers no defense against an attack[.]" So yes, the character takes 5 BODY damage in this example. There is, however, an optional Advantage that does give Absorption some defensive capability -- see 6E1 166 for more information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
