Hello,

Absorb Pain SA for a C, has anyone tried this?????

Probably not, for everyone considers their center a guy that never ever gets a block shed...

Absorb Pain allows you to have a bit less in stamina and confidence. Whenever your guy gets his block shed (first roll of the blocking mechanics), he looses bits of in-game stamina and in-game morale. If you can't get those up instantly, your guy will play less and less effective. That's why you want higher stam and confidence normally - but Absorb Pain is an alternative way to deal with this issue.

I wouldn't take an Absorb Pain piece if it came with nothing special, i.e.

+1 confidence, +1 Absorb Pain = crap

but I'd take those anytime:

+2 blocking/strength, +1 Absorb Pain
+3 agility/vision, +1 Absorb Pain

Go with hands over that SA. Hands is the most overlooked SA. I am trying to find a Hands AEQ for my center and LOT.

If the energy usage goes up with each level, a really good DT or DE can get worn down to nothing QUICK if someone has 10+ in hands.

Unless Bort changed things, you won't find AEQ with Hands on it. This is a holdover from when Hands and Smooth Operator didn't do anything.

Maintaining high energy and confidence is pretty important on your Line General imo. I'd do it if it was paired with a +2 good skill.
