===== Massive =====
Some creatures may swing for [[Massive]]. This Weapon [[carrier]] represents a blow with immense strength behind it, so much so that no protective ability may stop it.

An attack made with the Massive carrier will cause damage even if it is physically blocked by a Weapon or [[Shield]]. A [[Parry]] or [[Intercept]] will not stop the damage, though these Skills may be used to take the damage on behalf of another character within range as per the constraints of those Skills. [[Massive]] will still take away [[Armor Points]] before [[Body Points]] and may be stopped by [[Evade]] (with its normal constraints still applying), [[Dodge]], or [[Phase]].

The [[Massive]] carrier will affect other defensive abilities in different manners depending on the ability. An expendable defense such as [[Weapon Shield]] will not stop the attack but will still be lost. In this case, “Weapon Shield, taken” should be called. Defenses which are not expendable (such as [[Prison]] or [[Threshold]]) will not stop a [[Massive]] attack but will not themselves be taken down by the blow.
