Re: Supernatural Durability With No Weakness
Supernatural Durability (like Injury Tolerance) isn't a defence. It doesn't prevent damage at all - things that affect injury, and things that affect how your character reacts to injury aren't defences. They're just fundamental aspects of your character.
You can't bypass Homogenous (making rocks into squishy organ bearing blobs) without transforming the Homogeneous thing into a squishy thing. You can't bypass Diffuse without making the gas monster non-gasseous. And you can't "ignore" Jason Vorhees status as the "hero" of a slasher film franchise without transforming him from the "hero" into a bit character in a film parody franchise ;) Similarly, Extra Legs isn't a "defence" against being knocked down by a crippled leg, it just makes being knocked down by a crippled leg harder. It's the same reason why you can't put Force Field on Supernatural Durability or on Homogeneous.

In many ways SD is like having a huge extra reserve of HP (because you can keep going even into deep negatives - well past -10xHP) and massive ridiculous Regeneration (because unless you take 10xHP in one shot, you can see it like that you've "regenerated" back to full HP... sort of). Of course it's not exactly like those things, but it has parallels. And neither of those are a defense, as such.

What about Homogenous, with Area Effect? Defense? What if I use it for a Power Defense? What if I have Switchable Supernatural Durability with the Divine power modifier? |

Re: Supernatural Durability With No Weakness
Without a weakness, SD just means you can only be killed by an attack doing HP*10 in one shot. So, buy IT(DR) 100, Cosmic (no minimum damage) [900] and reduce your max HP to 1.

Re: Supernatural Durability With No Weakness
Expect you would only auto die after 600 pts of damage, and 100 pts of damage wouldn't even give a death check.

Cosmic: Always acts as an Achilles Heel for Supernatural Durability or Unkillable is a perfectly reasonably modifier (to go an the attacks of an avatar of the god of death, or something). Quote:
Of course, it's not really like any of these things, which is why it's a separate advantage. |

Re: Supernatural Durability With No Weakness
It's p.103, and as I noted before, the name of that section is: "Ability other than an attck or defense."
