Automatically, you anchor Frostbind to the floor with ice and let go of your hold on the haft. It is an unconscious action to keep the damn thing from escaping by making sure the spear pins down the beast. You realize that you cannot dodge, block, or counter the living wall of steely muscle and adamantine scales shoving mightily at you. Even your vassals cannot help. The scoured tatami floor beneath the wyrm's injured foot cracks, a good clue to just how much energy this body blow contains.
This is going to hurt.
A surge of energy pulses and forms a new power!
<span class="mu-g">The knight bore no helm nor hauberk, neither gorget nor breastplate, neither shaft nor buckler to smite nor to shield...</span>

The Wyvern slams full force into you and sends you flying backwards. You lose sight of the combatants as you tumble and roll through two different rooms. To your amazement, you don't feel any pain at all. Could it be shock? Scrambling back on to your feet after the energy from the blow bleeds off, you quickly check for injuries and discover nothing at all.
<span class="mu-r">That's Nothing! - Can only be used exactly once against each enemy and never again. The first deadly blow does no damage.... but only if you wear no armor.</span>
NO ARMOR!? ONLY ONCE!? What kind of useless power is this!? Did you waste this on the Wyvern!? No wait, the feat says 'each enemy'. That means as long as it is a completely new opponent, and if you are wearing no armor, you can tank exactly one deadly blow. So if Gareth tries to skewer you with her lance, you'll survive... unless she skewers you again, in which case you're shit out of luck.
<span class="mu-s">The Wyvern will never be affected by 'That's Nothing!' ever again. The next blow will do damage!</span>
Okay, so maybe the power isn't as useless as you feared but the limitation still rankles you.
"Your Majesty! Meep! HELP!" A warrior screams, bringing you back to reality.
Back to the battle, where death awaits!
