Ki Barrier The spirit reaches out, and death is denied.
As the user's knowledge of Ki grows, they naturally begin to learn how to focus and channel that energy into a protective layer just beneath their skin, protecting them from harm.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Roll Brawn + Melee at Difficulty 6.
If you succeed, you create a barrier around yourself, which absorbs the next Outcome +4 Damage. The Damage reduction from the barrier is applied before Armor. You may only have 1 active barrier at a time.
The barrier will fall after two hours, or if it absorbs the full amount of Damage. When a barrier falls, you cannot use this Effect again for a minimum of 2 Rounds.
This Effect is not obvious, and the only sign you are using an Effect is a heat shimmer. If someone suspects that an Effect was used, they must roll Perception + Alertness, Difficulty 8 to pick up on your Tell.
- Effects which circumvent Armor completely also circumvent your barrier.

Charlatans
“Unsettling are the days in which everyone is an expert.”
― Criss Jami
Nowadays you can't go a day without some phony prophet trying to peddle their wares to you.
Driven by the increased interest in the supernatural, charlatans from palm readers to televangelists are everywhere. And while the vast majority of witches, psychics, magicians, hypnotists, cures, potions, faith healers, and clairvoyants are complete fakes, they do make a living.
As the saying goes, "it's easier for an actor to make it in alternative medicine than Hollywood."
Most people scoff at these clearly-phony supernatural services, yet those same people often buy into at least one scam.
The most dangerous charlatans are the self-styled monster hunters who carry a mall-ninja arsenal and guns with silver bullets. Most have never encountered anything supernatural and do absolutely nothing besides burn some sage and patrol the area for a night or two. Even so, those who are superstitious, fearful, or desperate enough will hire them to solve the problems they simply don't understand. In some cases with disastrous results.
For Contractors, charlatans are red herrings and obstacles. Clumsy fakes that conjure a smokescreen of misinformation and escalate the situations they're in.

Oh, you're serious.
Even bullets respect an impeccable mustache.
Rick looks sternly towards the incoming attack.
Shifts his jaw forward slightly, standing up straight and tilting his head just the slightest bit to full project the full aura of manliness towards this violence-begetting weakling.
The air ripples around him like vapor, and his mustache catches the ambient light, rustling majestically like a serene wheat field at dawn.
The rage and desire to do harm, just drops away- their attacks pull back, almost like last-second mercy-
but they're really just impressed/intimidated
