Going through Champions Villains recently, I noticed that Dr. Destroyer has bought the "Hardened" Advantage on the naked "Resistant" Advantage he purchased for his PD and ED. However, unlike the old seperate "Damage Resistance" Power, nothing in the 6E descriptions for Hardened, Resistant, or Defense Powers in general actually seems to require this (unless I've missed something). Can defenses be Hardened in 6E without taking Hardened on any Resistant for them? If they can, does buying the Hardened anyway on Resistant grant any benefit, or does declining to buy it cause any drawback (perhaps Hardened defenses without Hardened Resistant would still be halved by Armor Piercing Killing Attacks)?
I suppose the same questions would also apply to the new "Impenetrable" Advantage, seperated out from Hardened in 6E (and which, by the way, the dear old Doctor seems to have forgotten about - Penetrating attacks will rapidly get his attention... )
