Re: [ORE] Is there ever in any point in having more than 9HD in Invulnerability?

I don't have the book in front of me, but what about the no upward limit extra? Doesn't that let you increase the effective width of an attack, potentially above 10?

The only thing I can think of is being attacked by an opponent who rolls 10x10 (say, with 10hd) and the attack has Interference, too.

I don't see anywhere in the rules where they describe the outcome of two directly opposing powers where both have Interference. 

One interpretation would be to apply the Interference penalty one die at a time. You have an attacker with 10x10 and a defender with 9x10. They both reduce the other by a die, dropping them to 9x10 and 8x10 respectively. Eventually they get down to 3x10 and 2x10 respectively, and apply another penalty. The attacker is now down to 2x10 and the defender is down to 1x10, at which point his power fails and loses the last penalty die. The attacker gets through with a 2x10 attack.

In other words, it makes sense to argue that if the player's character with his 9hd was ever attacked by an opponent who could roll 10x10 and that opponent had interference, he would lose that edge case. The only way to be totally invulnerable would be to take 10hd.

Because Invulnerability doesn't have the Armored Defense flaw on the HAR, you'll never need more than 9HD, right? Because the widest set you can ever get is 10, and 9 goggle dice will destroy that.

And if you're never going to have an attack that gets through your HAR, you don't need the LAR, also correct? So tossing the LAR, the total price for your "I may as well cross out my damage silhouette because it is mechanically impossible for me to ever take a point of damage" power ends up being 280 Points.

I just wanted to confirm no one could think of any edge cases or exceptions before I go and tell a player "Yeah, 9HD in Invulnerability means you'll never, ever take damage, and you can also yank out the Light Armor as a result".
