New perks

Maybe you've only got enough money to start out with a shoulder guard made of Beskar... but if you can redirect attacks to hit that, that's not such a bad thing. Then again, the limit of "once per session" may be enough to prevent abuse, at least in fairly combat-heavy campaigns (in those with more moderate amounts of combat, getting hit even once in a session may be the exception rather than the rule).

The power of it would be reduced by stipulating that the chosen location will sustain a minimum of one point of damage after everything is taken into account.
