Description:
Sometimes a good defense comes at a cost. Activating this ability allows the character to take half the damage inflicted from physical attacks upon them, but in doing so, the character only deals half their damage (rounded down) on all combat abilities.
This effect lasts for ten minutes after activation, which requires the player to announce “Aggressive Defense”, until the end of combat, or the incapacitation of the character, whichever comes first.
Note that it is the player’s responsibility to call half their own called damage in their attack tagline and calculate only half damage from incoming physical attacks. It costs 15SP to use this ability.
At Rank 2 the character can deal out full damage with the use of combat abilities and Aggressive Defense. This increases the duration to 30 minutes or combat.
