Default Weakness with Mitigator

Usually Weakness uses Variable to lower damage under given circumstances. Could I use Mitigator to remove it all together?

In particular I'm looking for a Weakness, but if he's wearing enough clothes there's no damage at all. Clothing isn't as easily removeable or broken as glasses, what would the modifier be?

You could probably use Mitigator on Weakness, but it wouldn't be a good fit for clothing, which is not vulnerable and does not have to be replaced often. What you're talking about really takes the edge off of the disad... -80% might do it, though even that might be overstating it.

I was thinking about that too. Reading your post gave me an idea that helps me get around this problem though. Thanks.
