I think the problem is that Defense Bonus is really overpriced. It should be closer to 20 points per level than 30 points. In Supers, where the DB metatrait first appeared, Bill Stoddard just added the costs of Enhanced Block, Enhanced Dodge, and Enhanced Parry (All). I think it'd be more reasonable to have Enhanced Dodge and Block as Alternative Abilities. That would be 18 CP. And I think ESP should give access to straight-up improved defenses, without the skill roll: the defense itself is already a roll.
