「
宇宙パワー」の
能動防御は、ルール上、特定のタイプの攻撃に対して防御が不可能な場合でも使用することができます――「
宇宙パワー」の攻撃を止めるだけではありません! そのため、「
宇宙パワー」の「
よけ」で不意打ちをかわしたり、「
宇宙パワー」の「
受け(レイピア)」でフレイルを受け流したり、「
宇宙パワー」の「
止め」で銃弾を防いだり、などといったことが可能になるのです。これは、
呪文状や範囲攻撃などには適用されません。ルールや状況によって禁止されていなければ、通常であれば
能動防御が適切であるような攻撃に対してのみ適用されます。
これらのルールは、他の形態の「
宇宙パワー」(または他の
増強)に対して一般化されるべきではありません。特に、「
宇宙パワー/判定不要」は厳禁です!
もし
能動防御を強化する場合、その防御に追加する「
強化防御」のレベルも強化しなければなりません。

Cosmic Active Defenses
Cosmic, Defensive (above), is most commonly applied to passive protection (e.g., DR), negating the effects of Cosmic, Irresistible attack (p. 8). However, this suggests that characters should be able to add Cosmic, Defensive, to their active defenses as well, to counter Cosmic, No active defense (p. 8). This is possible, using the cost of Enhanced Defenses (p. B51) as a guideline, and treating all defenses as being bought up from the base of 3.
Dodge: Round Basic Speed down to the nearest whole number, then multiply it by 7.5 and round up, to find the point cost.
Parry, One Skill: Halve the skill and round down, then multiply it by 2.5 and round up, to find the point cost. For untrained, unarmed attacks, use DX as your skill level.
Parry, All: Halve DX and round down, then multiply it by 5 to find the point cost.
Block: Halve Shield skill and round down, then multiply it by 2.5 and round up, to find the point cost.
A Cosmic active defense can be used even when the rules state that such a defense isn’t possible against a particular type of attack – not just to stop Cosmic attacks! Thus, Cosmic Dodge lets you attempt to dodge a surprise attack, Cosmic Parry (Rapier) makes it possible to parry a flail, Cosmic Block allows you to try blocking a bullet, and so on. This never applies to Maledictions, area-effect attacks, etc. – only to attacks for which the active defense would normally be appropriate, were it not for a rule or circumstance disallowing it in this particular situation.
These rules should not be generalized to other forms of Cosmic (or other enhancements). In particular, Cosmic, No die roll required, is strictly forbidden!
If you enhance an active defense, you must also enhance any levels of Enhanced Defenses you add to that defense.
