Toughened Skin

Cost: 1
Ability Type: Passive Ability
Related Skill: Melee Combat
Prerequisites: Martial Arts Training

You have engaged in a painful training regimen designed to toughen your skin on the parts of your body used to make unarmed strikes and defences, and as a result you are less likely to hurt yourself when a move goes wrong. If you take damage from having an unarmed attack parried or guarded you receive one point of Bonus Armour against that damage. You also receive this bonus against damage taken when successfully performing a Martial Parry.
