Burning / Acid Defense
This is a defense against bludgeoning attacks that can employed using a defensive action and it adds to any other defenses the character already has, including bludgeoning resistance, armor, and shields. The actual method for performing this defense is left purposefully vague to be filled in by the player in any way they feel appropriate for their character from martial arts to magical, supernatural, or superhuman force shields.
Burning / Acid Resistance
The defense against this bludgeoning is increased by “two for trying” and two per skill degree with no mana cost and is the basis for a races initial two points of bludgeoning defense. This resistance happens automatically without requiring a defensive action. If a player so chooses, they can justify the reason behind higher degrees of this resistance (e.g. tougher skin) or they can just leave it nebulous.

Redirecting Conduit
Using a defensive action, a user with the redirecting conduit skill can redirect one electrical attack per skill degree per round to an ally or opponent of their choice except for the one from whom they are receiving the electrical attack. The conduit won’t have to roll any of their own defense dice, but rather the new defender will be defending against the electrical attacker. This requires one mana point.
