Price of Limitation "One Attack Only" in Defenses

The no defense is a fairly serious limitation as to what you can take. Warp (Blink Only, 1 yard step only) would fit nicely, but it's considered a dodge.

Have you considered Serendipity? A coincidence to move you 1 yard out of the way of a fairly nasty hit seems like a fair ask. You can even throw on Cosmic +50% and Emergencies Only -20%, then round it up to 20 to arrive at a similar point cost as IT w/-80% worth of limits. Of course, you trade 1/day for 1/session, but it seems like a fair trade.

I'd go with Luck (Wishing, to use after the fact +100%; Emergencies Only -30%; Protectively only - to make enemy attacks vs the PC reroll -20%) at whatever level you can afford rather than doing the 1/Day thing. Some combats drag long enough that you could use Extraordinary a couple of times in an encounter or Ridiculous every couple of rounds.
