Defensive Traits

Combat-oriented characters usually have one or more Ability traits that describe some kind of protection or means to avoid harm. Defensive abilities are usually used as part of reactions to avoid Stress or Complications.

It is possible for a character to take a custom Defensive trait and name it something like Lucky Avoidance or Infernal Aura as long as the players and GM involved reach a consensus on what that means in actual play. However, the following traits are standardized and assumed to be available to characters with sufficient justification within the setting.
