Heroic Toughness

Cost: 15
Ability Type: Passive Ability
Related Skill: Resistance
Prerequisites: Exceptional Toughness, and Resistance 9 or Resistance 7 and Melee Combat 8

Your toughness and resistance to injury is truly impressive, allowing you to shrug off wounds that would make a lesser man quail. This ability increases your Toughness by 20% (round up), or gives a straight +3 – whichever is greater, and allows you to ignore the first three points of Shock whenever you are injured. These bonuses replace those provided by Exceptional Toughness.
