Arnabas Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 I never really take the Concealment pool, but I have one character for whom it seems appropriate. I know that the Stealth power loses much of it's bonus when you attack, but I figured it would still offer some protection. I noticed today that it is normally 10% (I'm rounding off) but if I attack it drops to 3%. That seems reasonable, but there is also a -10% showing, so does that mean I am effectively -7% from my base defense? Meaning if I attack, they actually get something of a bonus to hit me? Or am I reading it wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvaderStych Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Stealth's contribution to Defense will show up as a line item to defense bonuses by category. If you are seeing a red -XX% number in Base Defense at the top of that listing in Combat Attributes, then you have most likely been hit by a critter that can debuff defense. Changes to Base Defense that don't come from an external debuff are exceedingly rare. But, no. Losing the extra +def from Stealth upon attacking or getting hit will not send you into negative defense absent any enemy debuffs which can do so. 2 2 You see a mousetrap? I see free cheese and a f$%^ing challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psyonico Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 like Invader said, sounds like you were hit by a defense debuff. when you attacked. you get the lower number (depending on AT) when you're in combat. 1 What this team needs is more Defenders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnabas Posted February 12, 2023 Author Share Posted February 12, 2023 Thanks. That's what I was thinking/ hoping, but I couldn't tell because the bonuses showed "from self" and "from Stealth" but the penalties just gave the value with no explanation.
