(P1) Armor Skin (01-13)
[ Next ]

This is a form of Body Armor. The hero's skin is transformed into a damage-resistant form. The Power rank number decreases the Intensity of any physical or energy attack. This decrease applies each turn for as long as the attack continues.

The Armor Skin may be permanent or temporary. The permanent form is a lasting modification to the hero's appearance and physiology. The temporary form allows the hero to retain his normal human appearance and identity. When the need arises, the hero can manifest his Power and transform himself into his armored self. The advantage of the permanent form is that hero is always protected. The disadvantage is that the hero may be a physical freak. The advantage to the temporary from is that the hero can live a relatively normal life when he is not performing heroic deeds. The disadvantages are twofold. One, the hero lacks his protective skin most of the time and two, the temporary form is only available at a cost of -2CS to the Power rank.

In all of these forms, any damage that is suffered is healed at normal rates by the skin cells that underlie and support the specialized cells of the Armor Skin.

An Optional Power is Regeneration.
