Tri-Stat dX Mental Defense attribute By Zegon Destructacon Cost: 1 Point/level Relevant Stat: Mind Required PMVs: None Optional PMVs: None Progression: Linear; +1 effective mind per level Reduction: None Restrictions: None Mental Defense refers to an increase in mental strength by the person taking it. Their mind stat is treated as 1 higher per level for any effect that uses a mind derived roll for defense or resistance. Mental Defense does NOT affect ACV, DCV, or EP. For every odd level a character has of Mental Defense, starting at level 3, the character is protected from Mind (Drain) attacks by one point. So, an attack that drains 5 mind hitting a person with Mental Defense at level 5 would only drain 3 mind a hit.
