Brace

Reaction, 1/round, after you're hit and damage is rolled: take half damage, heat and burn from that attack (Resistance), and other attacks against you get +1 Difficulty until the end of your next turn. Cost: on your next turn you only get one quick action — no move, no full/free actions, no overcharge, no reactions.

Tip

Don't confuse it with Hunker Down, a reaction only the Assault NPC has (it gains Resistance to one attack's damage).
