The Damage reduction from the barrier is applied before Armor. You may only have 1 active barrier at a time.

This Effect is not obvious, and the only sign you are using an Effect is when your eyes begin to glow. If someone suspects that an Effect was used, they must roll Perception + Alertness, Difficulty 8 to pick up on your Tell.
An entirely new, and elegant form of blade dancing. Through controlling the sword with his mind and years of assassin training Gideon has inadvertently created a new school of sword fighting.

Though given it has been further enhanced by a gift it's perhaps not surprising that this school will never spread beyond its initial practioner.
You gain the following benefits as long as Gideon is wielding a weapon controlled via telekinesis and you are engaged in combat with Swords.

Broken and refined by the genre that's defined him his whole life, the natural final step is to become it. Embracing the style just isn't enough, not for Frank's "benefactor".
His body has become pallid and dull, a stark white with hints of black and gray sprinkled about. His clothes appear to seamlessly weave into his body at times, taking on an odd fleshy texture and a distinct lack of color.
This massive change to his physiology has come with a few added effects (see: Continuance & Witness Protection). Through hardening & softening his body, Frank's capable of slipping into places previously thought improbable. It also appears to be unphased by any elemental conditions, functioning no matter how hot or cold his surroundings are.
You gain the following benefits at all times.

You are immune to damage from heat and flames. If heat is a substantial component of other damage you would take (e.g. slashed with a flaming sword), that damage is reduced by 2 (in addition to Armor)
