A couple of abort questions

[Dead guy on tab]

1) Can you abort to a passive defense/power such as Life Support (assuming it's nonpersistent)?

 

2) Can you abort to abilities which mitigate the damage about to be taken (e.g. Aids to CON, STUN, or REC)?

 

Thanks

Re: A couple of abort questions

 

1. That depends on whether the GM considers it a “defensive action.” I suspect that in most cases where the question would come up Aborting to Life Support would be a valid Action.

 

2. Again, that depends on whether the GM considers it a “defensive action,” but generally speaking, no. “Mitigating” incoming damage via an Aid isn’t really “defensive” in the sense contemplated by the Abort rules.
