Wooden Block Method

Cost: 1 mote 
Duration: Instant 
Type: Reflexive 
Minimum Martial Arts: 2 
Minimum Essence: 2 
Prerequisites: none

Those who practice the Broken Body style expect to be hit by melee weapons, but like to ensure some level of frustration for their opponents. If an enemy splits her action to attack with a melee weapon, consecutive hits become even more increasingly difficult. Difficulties are increased by one for each attack that rolls damage. This is due to the skin of the user being solid like a chopping block, not enough to deflect damage, but enough to make it difficult to remove the "axe".

Example. Mariush, the Dynast swordsman attacks Velvet Guard 4 times with his blade, Anattadta. Velvet Guard initiates Wooden Block Method, readying himself for damage. Mariush's first attack pool is -4. He hits, and does 1 damage. The second attack is now -6, instead of -5. He hits, but the blade does little to Velvet Guard, 0 damage. The third attack is -8, because the last attack hit, even if no damage was done. The last attack is -9. Mariush is having a hard time pulling his sword out every time, but the last attack just brushed off. Now it's Velvet's turn, and Mariush seems concerned, as the frail man in front of him seems to have enjoyed what should have been a severe thrashing...
