No resistance defense.For about 85% of the time, he rarely took body damage when he was hit by people spreading their EB or conscussion grenades or when suffering flash damage and taking a huge reduction in fighting ability.One session he got hit with a grenade. It made pretty good RPGing as he was critically injured and almost dead. But it's hard to kill someone with 18 body as they have to go to -18I let him buy up some resistant ed/pd as a bullet proof costume after that to help compensate and showcase his 'maturity' that even his MA skills might not always be enough to save the day.It's easy to kill players as the GM but doing so usually involves acting outside the genre too. For example, most of the X-Men could be killed by a sniper yet no one's done that because it would be boring writing. "Yeah, I killed Cyclops, Pysloche, Storm, etc... hell, even got Colossus while he was in human form."</blockquote>
