Protector 1
Cost: N/A
Uses: Varies
To Learn: 2 XP
Description: Use one of your actions to defend a player from an attack. Roll as you would normally roll to defend. If attacker wins you take damage. If your roll is more then 30 below the attack the protect fails and the original target must roll.
Special Conditions:
1. You may change people who you are defending for as many actions as your Fighting roll would allow you to attack. ( Excellent fighting allows 2 attacks so 2 defenses ) without penalty. If the next defense would push you to poor or feeble, the attack automatically hits you. You cannot protect someone again if you are at feeble.
2. This skill can be used in conjunction with attacking. For example, you have Incredible fighting. You defend once, then can attack twice on your turn for Excellent, Good ( normal -1 per action taken ), then defend again afterwards without exhaustion.

Biography:
Groot is a member of the Flora Colossus species, originating from Planet X. His species has a unique ability to grow and regenerate, which Groot often uses to protect his friends, particularly Rocket. Initially considered little more than a brute, Groot proved himself as a noble and self-sacrificing hero. He first teamed up with Rocket and eventually joined the Guardians of the Galaxy. Despite his limited speech, Groot communicates effectively with his friends, often expressing himself through body language and tone.
