Hotjets,
It was my interpretation that when the rules stated "The target can attempt to avoid Nullify with a defense roll as if you were attacking," I took defense to mean Dodge, Block or Defending with a Power, but not a passive defense like LAR or HAR. I also took "avoid" to not get hit or touched by the Nullify at all.
In the WT EE rules, "avoid" is used as a general term for any defense, including LAR and HAR. Nullify would be pretty powerful if it automatically bypassed HAR, since that seems to be a very common sort of defense. It would be giving Nullify the equivalent of the Non-Physical Extra. See the first sentence in the following sentence from page 120:
"The Defends quality ordinarily lets you roll the power's dice pool to block or avoid an attack against you. There are several ways to change the Defends quality using Extras and Flaws."
"If you want your power to give you a Light Armor Rating, take the Armored Defense Flaw for –2 Points per die. When you activate the power it gives you width in LAR to every hit location. Armored Defense makes the defense vulnerable to weapon Penetration (page 82) unless you also take the Hardened Defense Extra for +1 per die."
Based on the above, LAR, for example, can be used to avoid an attack against you. Passive defenses don't seem to be excluded.
