I'm sorry to have to report a slight bug with Mental Defense.
The situation is this: if the character has some MD all the time (say, +10 MD) and more MD when she concentrates on it (another +10 MD, Costs END), Hero Designer is "double dipping" -- it gives the bonus points for EGO/5 to both MDs, and adds them into the total it displays when you export it.
Do the following:
1) Create new, blank character
2) Choose Power: Mental Defense +10 (yields 12 total)
3) Choose Power: Mental Defense, Costs END, +10 (yields 12 total)
4) Choose an export template and preview the character. HD lists the total Mental Defense as 24, when it should be 22.
I asked Steve about this over in the Hero Rules Questions forum just to make sure, and yes -- you're supposed to get the EGO/5 once, no matter how many stackable sources of Mental Defense you can apply.
Sorry about this -- hate to be the bearer of bad news & all that.
