[QUOTE="Cabral, post: 2778853, member: 1193"] Okay, I think I'll take one defensive power, I think I'll ditch the DR from biofeedback so that leaves, Thicken Skin, Force Shield, or Precognition, Defensive Touch attacks ignore Thicken Skin and Force Screen (except against incopreal touch attacks) When he loses his dex bonus, he also loses Force Screen and Precognition, Defensive Precognition, Defensive also gives a bonus on all saves. Precognition, Defensive and Force Screen have a duration of 1 min/lvl while Thicken Skin has a duration of 10 min/lvl They're all first level so they cost a base of 1 power point so let's compare power points spent (PP) to AC bonus provided by Thicken Skin (TS), Force Screen (FS), and Prescience, Defensive (PD) [code]PP FS PD TS 1 +4 +1 +1 2 +4 +1 +1 3 +4 +1 +1 4 +4 +2 +2 5 +5 +2 +2 6 +5 +2 +2 7 +5 +3 +3 ------------------------------------------------------ 8 +5 +3 +3 | Current Character Level ------------------------------------------------------ 9 +6 +3 +3 10 +6 +4 +4 11 +6 +4 +4 12 +6 +4 +4 13 +7 +5 +5 14 +7 +5 +5 15 +7 +5 +5 16 +7 +6 +6 17 +8 +6 +6 18 +8 +6 +6 19 +8 +7 +7 20 +8 +7 +7 [/code] Analysis ...
