I once had a mage (TL 3) with DR 6, force field, absorption.
When I ran out of FP for spellcasting, some colleage just had to hit my force field with a rod or some weapon with "minimum strength" 3, so it could do maximum damage as if someone of ST 9 would use it: No risk of penetrating the DR, and after a few seconds I got all my FP - as using the points of absorption for healing FP or HP doesn't wear off after a few seconds.
