Editing Setting:Inn0cence: Lost Future/Machine: The Abandoned (section)

===Hardening===
Machines are tough, but some are tougher.  Their shells are constructed to resist incoming trauma, and when that trauma is too great, to fail at specific break points rather than critical ones.  Built of materials that alter when exposed to electrical current, a Hardened machine shrugs off wounds that would leave another bot crippled.

'''Cost:''' 1 charge/scene

'''Dice Pool:''' none

Each dot of Hardening grants the character 1 temporary point of integrity (wounds).  It also downgrades one incoming lethal damage into bashing for each dot.  This applies only to damage suffered while Hardening is active, not previously existing damage.  When Hardening ends, the temporary integrity is lost, but any suffered damage remains.
*At [][] dots, the Machine adds its Hardening dots to resist Electromagnetic attacks.
*At [][][] dots, 1 point of suffered damage disappears when Overcharge ends.  
*At [][][][][] dots, 2 points of suffered damage disappear.
