Dynamic Knack - Pillar of Stone, contributed
by Pete Sears
"::Crack:: WOW! What the hell are you made of?"
Just as Body of Bronze grants it's owner a super dense epidermis, Pillar of
Stone gives it's owner a super dense skeletal structure capable of withstanding
serious damage. Most conventional weapons and sources of damage cannot break
your bones at all.
System: Pillar of Stone offers it's owner a number of useful advantages.
Hand to hand damage meted out by the stalwart is given a +3 bonus (as if the
player were wielding a baseball bat.) Half of all lethal damage the player receives
is converted to bashing (after soak) and those who attack the Stalwart hand
to hand suffer half of the damage (rounded up) for each strike they land on
him.
Example: Kyodai attacks Countess Ilse Von Haupt. He lands a serious kick
on her for 7 dice of bashing damage. Since Ilse has Pillar of Stone. Kyodai
take 4 level of bashing damage (which he now has to soak.) and his foot hurts.
Storytellers should be very very careful about stacking Pillar of Stone with
Body of Bronze either for players or for villain types.
