Cybermonk Techniques

Most cybermonk techniques represent advanced training or tactics that the cybermonk has learned as they gained experience. Some cybermonk techniques are known as push techniques and use Resolve Points to push the limits of your cybernetic augmentations. Pushing a cybernetic augmentation is done as a swift action and lasts for a number of rounds equal to 2 plus 1 round for every two character levels you have. To use push techniques, you must have a cybernetic augmentation installed in one of the specified systems. All cybermonk techniques are extraordinary abilities.

Boost Dermal Plating (Push)
You may spend 1 Resolve Point to temporarily increase your damage reduction by 2. You have dermal plating in your skin system as a class ability, and therefore do not require any additional augmentations to use this technique.
