Your outer skin takes on the sheen and strength of hard glass, giving you some resistance to blows, cuts, stabs, and slashes. You gain damage reduction 5/bludgeoning (or DR 5/+2). (You ignore the first 5 points of damage each time you take damage from a weapon, though a bludgeoning weapon bypasses the reduction.) Once the power has prevented a total of 10 points of damage per manifester level (maximum 150 points), it is discharged.

Augment

You can augment this power in one or more of the following ways.

  1. If you spend 2 additional power points,your skin takes on the sheen and strength of mineral, giving you damage reduction 5/magic (or DR 8/+3). This augmentation doesn't stack with the primary effect or other augmentations.
  2. If you spend 4 additional power points, your skin takes on the sheen and strength of iron, providing damage reduction 5/mithral (or DR 15/+6). This augmentation doesn't stack with the primary effect or other augmentations.
  3. If you spend 6 additional power points, your skin takes on the sheen and strength of adamantine, providing damage reduction 10/adamantine (or DR 20/+7). This augmentation doesn't stack with the primary effect or other augmentations.
