Force Absorption

Force Absorption is a passive feature that increases your defenses as you get hit.

Description

Gain 2 turns of  Force Conduit when taking ⁠Slashing, ⁠Piercing, or ⁠Bludgeoning damage.

Condition: Force Conduit

 Force Conduit

Duration: 2 turns

• ⁠Bludgeoning, ⁠Piercing, and ⁠Slashing damage against the affected entity is reduced by 1 per turn remaining.
• If the entity takes damage while it has 5 or more turns remaining, it deals 1d4⁠⁠ForceDRS damage in a 6 m (20 ft) radius.
• Maximum Duration: 7 turns.

How to learn

Granted by the equipment:

• Rippling Force Mail

Notes

• Force Absorption adds 2 turns of  Force Conduit when the character takes at least 1 point of ⁠Slashing, ⁠Piercing, or ⁠Bludgeoning damage, including damage from falling,  Warding Bond redirected damage, or self-damage effects (such as  Blood Sacrifice and  The Scourge Mistress' Bane).
• If the incoming damage is reduced to zero by a damage reduction effect, such as  Force Conduit or  Heavy Armour Master, no turns are added.
• When  Force Conduit triggers its 1d4⁠⁠Force area damage, it normally reduces its own stacks to zero. With Force Absorption, however, the character immediately regains 2 stacks, keeping some damage reduction.
