Hey Emanoel. 

Followup question to Augmentations. If a player wants to use their Augmentation defensively, I know they can mark the Special Resistance box to do so…but do they have to first Mark the 1 stress to activate the enhanced capability before hand as well? 

Example: Player has a metal arm with retractable reinforced shield plates that pop out the sides.  They want to use it to block a hail of bullets coming their way. Do they have to mark one stress first to pop the shield plates out and then mark the Special Resistance to pull off the defensive maneuver and reduce/avoid the consequence OR do they just have to mark the Special Resistance (and not mark the stress too) to reduce/avoid the consequence? 

-Edit: oh….I just reread the runner file and on page 2 of the Runner file I see line 06. saying “you can mark stress or Special Resistance to leverage your Augment into it.”  So looks to have answered my question…but I’ll leave this here in case you have anything to add/correct! 

Thanks for your continued help!

Hey Mosska,

Yep, they don't have to mark Stress in that case, since marking Special is already a fair enough price to pay for its benefits!

Sorry for reviving the thread, does the special resistance stick around?  

Or is it a one time consumable 

I'm pretty sure it's one time, like armour

Yeah thats what surprised me, armor only tanking one good hit

It's a one time use. If you're playing Long-shot mode, you can refresh it during downtime phase (panel 7)

That seems like a good compromise, thanks!
