There's no explanation. It's just a genre convention. I prefer to do it as a Pact, though.

Also, I need to take the -10% for being a Supers, so with -40% for Tough Skin and -40% for CWA makes -90% when the maximum reduction is -80%.

<shrug> What do then is take the 80%. There is no rule against taking disadvantages and limitations you don't get points for.

Or, if you really want to munchkin it, find a 10% enhancement that you like.

Yes, that's true. But in that case, I must to remove the tough skin limitation, which changes the whole math...

I couldn't find any +10% enhancement for DR. But if you're within -90% limitation, you can add enchancements like Hardened (+20%)¹, which is a nice addition for TL 8+ campaigns or Absortion² (+80% or +100%), which is very nice to a Supers who spends FP to use his full strenght (but such option makes DR costly).

---

1 - DR 30 (Tough Skin, -40%; Cannot Wear Armor, -40%; Supers, -10%; Hardened 1, +20%) [45 pts]

2 - DR 30 (Tough Skin, -40%; Cannot Wear Armor, -40%; Supers, -10%; Absorption, +100%) [165 pts]

Could you take DR (Eye's Only for -90%, Forcefield +20%) or is that too twinkalicious?*

As a GM Id let you do it simply because its a bad deal compared to Nictitating Membrane, which gives you the DR, can see underwater just fine, and +1 to HT rolls vs eye damage all for that same 1 point.

Personally, Id allow a perk "DR protects Eyes" that gives your eyes the same DR as the rest of you, Superman style. Its not much more than a perk given IT: No Eyes is 5 points...
