Re: Damage Resistance (Tough Skin) vs. Mosquitoes
It added to the resistance vs. Neck Snap, said that your flesh also has DR (thus heavily implying that it works even against damage that comes from within the skin envelope), and offers no protection against Pressure Points. I'm pretty sure there's something else I missed.

Re: Damage Resistance (Tough Skin) vs. Mosquitoes
I would say you can get protection from mosquito skin for as a perk - assuming you had also bought tough skin.

Re: Damage Resistance (Tough Skin) vs. Mosquitoes
If your skin is actually difficult to draw blood (sufficient for Blood Agents) from, it has 1 or more levels of Flexible DR, even if it's just "tough skin." You may be able to justify a further -10% for Contact Agents working just fine (you could say each of not resisting Blood Agents and Contact Agents is -10%).
So, a character with DR 4 (Tough Skin -40%) [12] is affected by mosquitoes just as much as a normal character. A character with DR 3 (Tough Skin -40%) [9] and DR 1 (Flexible -20%, Contact -10%) [4] is immune to any mosquito that can't manage to penetrate DR 1 (which is going to be pretty much all of them). EDIT: I should note this is consistent with LemmingLord's suggestion of a Perk for characters with Tough Skin. In fact, in the above case you can replace up to 2 points of DR with the "Flexible but allows for Contact Agents" variant for a net cost of [1]. |

Re: Damage Resistance (Tough Skin) vs. Mosquitoes
I would allow it as a perk even without tough skin. DR 1 (Limited: Mosquitoes) shouldn't cost more than 1p anyway.

Re: Damage Resistance (Tough Skin) vs. Mosquitoes
Yeah, there is in fact a perk that does pretty much that in fancier ways (Controllable/Selective Lifebane etc.). I was curious if Tough Skin alone is sufficient, now I see it definitely isn't.
