Defenseless (M&M3)

A defenseless character has active defense

bonuses of 0. Attackers can make attacks on

defenseless opponents as routine checks (see Routine

Checks). If the attacker chooses to forgo the routine

check and make a normal attack check, any hit is

treated as a critical hit (see Critical Hits).

Defenseless characters are often prone, providing

opponents with an additional bonus to attack checks

(see Prone).
