[QUOTE="Yellow Sign, post: 507496, member: 5619"] After looking over the Protection rules, at first I thought it was overpowered but now I don't think so. With equal power levels, protection would not protect you any more than Super Con or Amazing Save at max. Titan has a 20 STR (+5) and Super STR +10 for a total damage bonus of +15. Ocular has a 20 CON (+5) and Protection +10. Titan takes a swing at Ocular and hits him. Ocular's Protection drops Titan's melee damage bonus to +5. So Ocular has to make a Damage Save (DC 15+5) of 20 with a +5 to his roll. Pretty even. The only time Protection would really kick in is if the Protection level is much higher that the combined damage bonus that a hero or villian could put out. While this might hurt a energy blaster who is attacking a Epic Villian, he should have some sort of attack that can bypass the Protection like Dazzle, Penetrating, etc. [/QUOTE]
