Presence defense question

[Mightybec]

I'm trying to build some zombie soldiers, and I'm stuck on something. How do I build them so the're very resistent to PRE attacks, but don't have more than 20PRE themselves? Would Mental Defense work for this?

Just buy extra PRE with the Limitation, Only To Protect Against Presence Attacks (-1). See the sidebar on page 92 of HERO System Fifth Edition for an example.

Alternately, since they're zombies, you might want to consider building them as Automatons, which would make them immune to Presence Attacks. (See page 310 of HERO System Fifth Edition.)

Thanks, I'll use the first option. I picture them as the "Universal Soldier" type. They'd have limited independant thought and function superbly in battle, but not be able to do much in the common world.
