Beer belly. BELLY GOES BOING-BOING.
As soon as the attack reaches the user´s corpulent body, it is repelled by the sheer bearing of it´s belly. The attack bounces off of the belly, which acts as a huge-ass spring which reflects the damage intended to make.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Choose a dangerous enemy as a target, regardless of how far away they are. This Effect cannot be used unless being attacked. If a target does not consent to the transfer, you must roll Brawn + Brawl at Difficulty 6 to use the effect on them.

The Sons of Salem
We swear to secure our people against the wickedness and evil of the invisible world.
We swear to aid the afflicted.
We swear to stay ever vigilant and seek out the abominable witchcrafts committed in this country.
We humbly pray to be blessed by God to hold all those who consort with the Devil accountable. Amen
—Opening and closing prayer for Sons of Salem meetings.
The Sons of Salem is a loosely-organized conservative populist movement in the United States that preaches violent opposition to anything they perceive as witchcraft, demonic, or monstrous.
Blowhard podcaster Ted Gundy and former general of the mercenary group “Hognose,” Roland Rush, founded the movement in 2010 after a series of violent werewolf attacks and unexplained, supernatural murders in Tennessee. Memberships grew quickly, stoked by Ted’s fiery doomsday rhetoric on his podcast "Truth Seekers" and the aspiration of the masculine power embodied by Roland.
Although they speak of duty, honor, and maintaining the “natural order” of things, the Sons of Salem are driven by fear. They collect guns and appear at protests en-masse as a way of easing the all-consuming terror of their powerlessness. At the same time, they have conditioned themselves to respond to fear with “strength” (read: violence).
