Re: [Basic] Advantage of the Week (#32): Damage Resistance, Nictitating Membrane
That seems legit, but continues to not cover what the pricing of the hidden but reveal-able DR should be...

You don't get a discount on Injury Tolerance: Homogenous if revealing it reveals your Secret. You don't get a discount on your Switchable Long Talons if revealing it reveals your Secret.
Heck, you don't get a discount on your 100d 1024yd radius Burning Attack, even though using it kind of explodes your Secret along with everyone within 1024 yds.

But I agree, there is no "Disadvantage: Secret" limitation on DR, or any exotic/paranormal trait for that matter.

The part where it's better than non-hidden DR.

It's still very important to look unarmored and vulnerable compared to heavily protected. No Signature isn't nonsense.

Re: [Basic] Advantage of the Week (#32): Damage Resistance, Nictitating Membrane
I wouldn't say it is. But if you have an outer layer with No Signature, and then an under layer, and the outer layer conceals the under layer, then the under layer has No Signature too, and you pay the full No Signature bonus cost for all of it.

Re: [Basic] Advantage of the Week (#32): Damage Resistance, Nictitating Membrane
It is either hidden, or it isn't. Being revealed by injury is how hidden armor is revealed regardless.
Is DR (No Signature) "My armor looks like normal skin or body armor or something" or is "You don't realize I have DR even when you hurt me"? I thought it was the latter. The former seems like DR and no disadvantages from looking like monster or weapon. |

Of course, YMMV based on setting and genre assumptions.
