Except it's not. It's "not getting hit" even if your unconscious on the floor. As someone who made a PD 6 super in 3e, trust me, it's more than just "good at defending". Especially if you're a few yards away from the grenade and unconscious on the floor...


However, my "weird Obscure build" seems to be me remembering how my group* did PD and not how it actually worked in the rules. We applied it as a penalty to the attacker's roll, not as a Defense Bonus. So yeah, Enhanced Defense and DR would cover it they way it actually was supposed to work just fine.


* I think we did it that way to reduce rolls and to simulate "armor or force fields bouncing off attacks and the defender not even being aware of it happening". Also it fit the "protects you even if unconscious" better in our minds.
