Defensive Point Buy

Defensive Point Buy is part of the Proficiency System. Its Packs allow a Character to use shields, and get shield-related Mundane Techniques. Any learned Technique can be used on any shield a Character knows how to use. Shields can be used to defend oneself without using their attached Abilities. We encourage dice rolls to resolve disputes when players can't figure out what to do next. Remember to use shields fairly and have them break eventually- no one likes fighting an unkillable, uncounterable tank in a fast-moving combat scene.
