Pillar of Stone (Stalwart Knack) (3)

"<Krack!> OW! What the hell are you made of ?"
Just as Body of Bronze grants it's owner a superdense epidermis, Pillar of Stone gives its owner a superdense skeletal structure capable of withstanding serious damage. Most conventional weapons and sources of damage cannot break your bones at all.
System: Pillar of Stone offers it's owner a number of useful advantages. Hand to hand damage meted out by the stalwart is given a +3 bonus (as if the player were wielding a baseball bat.) Half of all lethal damage the player receives is converted to bashing (after soak) and those who attack the Stalwart hand to hand suffer half of the damage (rounded up) for each strike they land on him.
Example: Kyodai attacks Countess Ilse Von Haupt. He lands a serious kick on her for 7 dice of bashing damage. Since Ilse has Pillar of Stone. Kyodai take 4 level of bashing damage (which he now has to soak.) and his foot hurts.
Storytellers should be very very careful about stacking Pillar of Stone with Body of Bronze either for players or for villain types.
