Absorb Blow (Su): 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.
A guardian with only one tier who activates Absorb Blow will prevent only 5 points of damage. Does that mean that:
1) The DR/epic portion of the ability will never be available until the guardian gains another tier, OR
2) You're supposed to keep a running tally of damage prevented via Absorb Blow and apply DR/epic each time an increment of 10 is reached within a period of 1 minute?
I'm inclined towards 1, because 2 sounds like an awful lot of bookkeeping.
I'm curious to find out if the Absorb Blow Guardian ability, with temporary expanded DR/epic, actually stack with Impervious Body path power, permanent DR5/epic? Appreciate any clarification.
I'm curious about this as well. Though from how the ability reads I'm inclined to say it stacks with itself.
As for the permanent DR epic it definitely stacks.
