Alright everyone I'm looking for clarification on how Absorb Blow works. I am GMing a mythic campaign and one of my players has Absorb Blow. He is only tier 1 and we were wanting a clarification on how to define a "source."
If he designates another character's weapon as the source of the hit point damage does he absorb the damage for that whole round, meaning if the attacking character strikes four times the defending character absorbs 20 damage at tier 1. Or does he only absorb from one attack. In which case I assume this means he cannot get DR until tier 2.
Also, does the DR from Absorb Blow stack with itself?
Absorb Blow:
As an immediate action, whenever you take hit point damage from a single source (such as a dragon's breath, a spell, or a weapon), you can expend one use of mythic power to reduce the damage you take from that source by 5 per tier (to a minimum of 0 points of damage taken). If you have another ability or effect that reduces damage (such as protection from energy), reduce the damage with the absorb blow ability before applying any other damage-reducing effects. For every 10 points of damage that this ability prevents, for 1 minute you gain DR 1/epic and 5 points of resistance against acid, cold, electricity, fire, and sonic damage. The DR and resistances stack with any other DR and resistances that you have.
