Absorption: Variable
  You can absorb energy from an attack and use it to fuel your own
powers! Each level of Absorption allows you to absorb one point of
damage from an attack and store that point in an "absorption battery".
The battery can hold a number of points equal to twice your Absorption
level. From that battery, you can allocate those points as if they
were character points, to temporarily raise a power, attribute, or
anything else the GM approves of. Once these points have been allo
cated, they cannot be shifted elsewhere. The points drain away, unused
ones first, at the rate of one per turn. Any special abilities gained
are lost when the points allocated to them fall below the minimum
cost.
  When you are attacked, first subtract your Absorption from the
damage taken, then subtract your Reflection (if any), and (finally)
subtract any DR you have before assessing damage. Once your battery is
full, every level of Absorption acts like a level of normal DR. You
cannot absorb your own attacks.

  Special Limitation: The absorbed points can only be allocated to
one attribute or power, determined when the character is created. -20%
  
Reflection: Variable
  You can reflect part of the damage from an attack back at the
attacker! Every level of Reflection lets you bounce one point of
damage back, to automatically hit the attacker. If the attacker is
unaware of your Reflection ability, he gets no active defense against
it; otherwise he may make a normal active defense. If your attacker
makes a critical success on his attack roll or you critically fail
your defense roll, you do not reflect the attack; your reflection
still protects, as DR.
  The attack must be targeting you specifically; damage from an area
attack will not be reflected unless you are at the center of it (i.e.,
the targeted hex). You also cannot reflect an attack if there is no
attacker (e.g., a power with Delay). Ricocheted attacks are difficult
to reflect back; roll under 10, minus the number of bounces made, to
hit the attacker.
  When you are attacked, first subtract your Absorption (if any) from
the damage taken, then subtract your Reflection, and (finally)
subtract any DR you have before assessing damage.

  At the GM's option, the damage reflected can be re-rolled. Every 4
points of damage count as 1d; every 7 points count as 2d. Thus, if you
reflect 15 points of damage, you can roll 4d+1 to see how much damage
the attacker takes.
