Rules talk:Oathsworn Protectors

While My Life For You is socially disadvantageous, mechanically, it's actually an advantage for the pair, as it allows them to opt to distribute damage more efficiently. Normally you have to get a tech to let you take damage for another person. This is especially true if it's possible for a single mage to have multiple Protectors. -Hroefn ^T 11:13, 3 March 2013 (PST)

I was considering how this would be used, and I knew such an application as you mentioned was entirely what would happen. I am considering having the damage be unaffected by Damage Reducing techs. I'll see what others have to think before I decide. -DaShizer 3:26 (EST), March 3, 2013

Having the transferred damage unaffected by DR doesn't change it from an advantage into a disadvantage. Most characters don't have DR techs anyway -- they're not required to make an effective character build. -Hroefn ^T 17:40, 4 March 2013 (PST)

Would you call it an out-right advantage then? -Dashizer 5 minutes later

This is a society based template for Venustas. I figured I should note that here before I write the fluff pending outcome. -DaShizer March 4, 2013
