Name	Through Defence
Cost	6 points
Prerequisites	Warrior Archetype and Armour Proficiency
Key Words	Archetype / Warrior / Stamina
Description	The character has mastered the art of preventing enemies taking advantage of weaknesses and gaps in their armour. For a cost of 1 stamina per use, when hit by an arrow, crossbow bolt, or melee weapon attack with a Mundane Through call, the character may take the damage as armour hits rather than bypassing the armour. Note: Damage from Artefact, Corporeal, Elemental or Spirit Through calls cannot be affected by this skill. Note: If the attack does more damage than the character's armour can absorb, the remaining damage is taken as physical hits in the normal way. For example, if a character wearing light armour used this skill against an arrow, they would take one armour hit and one physical hit. Note: This skill grants 5 Stamina per day. The number of stamina points the character can benefit from each day depends on their cap. See Magic Points, Stamina and Work Units for more.
Progression	None

+| Description || The character has mastered the art of preventing enemies taking advantage of weaknesses and gaps in their armour.
-| Description || The character can, with about thirty seconds’ roleplay, adjust their armour so as to snarl sharp points and blades. After activating this ability, the next attack to each location from an arrow or crossbow bolt or from a weapon calling ''[[Calls#Damage Indicator|Through]]'' by mundane means (i.e. without any of the [[Calls#Damage Type|damage types]] ''Artefact'', ''Corporeal'', ''Elemental'' or ''Spirit'') inflicts one [[Combat#Armour Hits|armour hit]] rather than bypassing the armour.
+For a cost of '''1 stamina per use''', when hit by an arrow, crossbow bolt, or melee weapon attack with a [[Calls#Damage_Type|Mundane Through]] call, the character may take the damage as armour hits rather than bypassing the armour.
+'''Note:''' Damage from [[Calls#Damage_Type|Artefact, Corporeal, Elemental or Spirit Through]] calls cannot be affected by this skill.
-'''Special:''' If the character is wearing '''superior''' or higher quality armour for all uses of this skill, they may use this skill ''three'' times per day rather than two.
+'''Note:''' If the attack does more damage than the character's armour can absorb, the remaining damage is taken as physical hits in the normal way.
+For example, if a character wearing light armour used this skill against an arrow, they would take one armour hit and one physical hit.
+'''Note:''' This skill grants '''5 Stamina''' per day. The number of stamina points the character can benefit from each day depends on their cap. See [[Character_Creation#Magic_Points,_Stamina_and_Work_Units|Magic Points, Stamina and Work Units]] for more.
