Daniel has started to find a way to protect himself when things go bad. He is not much of a fighter so his shielding does the help for him.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action to activate. You must actively and obviously use Watch to activate this Effect. Roll Intellect + Culture at Difficulty 6.
If you succeed, you create a Barrier around yourself, which absorbs the next Outcome + 2 Damage. Half the damage absorbed is reflected back at the attacker, which they can Defend against as normal. The Damage reduction from the Barrier is applied before Armor, and is treated like Armor by any effects such as Armor Penetration. You may only have 1 active barrier at a time.
You must maintain Concentration while using this Effect. The Barrier will fall if you are interrupted, or if it absorbs the full amount of damage. When a Barrier falls, you cannot use this Effect again for a minimum of 2 Rounds. As long as it does not fall, the barrier regenerates back to full strength at the end of each Round of combat.
After this Effect ends, you cannot move quicker than a walk for one minute and suffer a -1 dice penalty for an hour.

Natural Instincts
"I can feel my grasp slipping."
Somewhere along the way, something fundamental changed about him. The things that made him human, that made him a person, he began to loose his grasp on them. Maybe it's just what the contracts required, maybe he had such a capacity for malice all along.
Letting his animalistic instincts take over, Goro forces himself into a fight-or-flight response. Adrenaline courses through his veins, his pupils dilating to match. As long as he remains in this state, his body seems to move of the way on it's own, dodging oncoming attacks with relative ease.

Virtual Armor
Like regular armor, but neon!
Panels pull apart from her chest as she reaches in, crudely ripping something from herself. Oil spills onto the floor as she shoves thick cords back into her cavity before the panels close once more.
