Hardened...defined or undifined

[caradwyn]

The expansion of the rules for Hardened defenses make it
a bit unclear as to the actually re-definition of the advantage.
If and only if you have a single level of hardened does it still
affect ALL of the attack advantages (AP,PEN,etc) so long as
there is only one advantage on the attack of does, by defining
the hardened (as in the example of 2 of more powers) mean
it only effects that one advantage (even when a power used
against the defense only has 1 advanatage). I could see the entry
being read either way so I'd like an official clarification of the
mutiple attacks with only 1 advantage. This if the hero has
1x hardened (defined vs penetrating) and is attack be 2 villians,
one with AP and one with hardened...since these are both only
1 leve for the hardened stop them both or just the penetrating
that is was defined against when bought. the Example is clear
for multiple powers advantages but not for single...does that mean
that the old rule of stopping any 1 advantage still applies?

I'm not sure I understand your question, or the supposed lack of clarity. If the question is this -- If a character has a single level of Hardened on his defenses, and he's attacked by two enemies, each using an attack with one Advantage that Hardened can counteract, does it counteract both attacks' Advantages, or only one of the attacks? -- then the answer is "both attacks' Advantages."
