- Highly vulnerable to toughness-altering abilities such as Fortitude Weakening, Density Manipulation or even Carbon Manipulation.
- May require learning defenses to particular dangers.
- May be vulnerable to telepathic abilities.
- May only protect against external attacks, so internal attacks, such as Internal Rupturing, Dehydration and Deoxygenation, can bypass this ability.
- Users ofAbsolute Strength/Absolute Attack may be able to inflict damage.
- May still feel pain.
- Can still be affected by Death Inducement.
- Unless combined that resist/negate it (Immobility, Pushback Resistance) user can be thrown around by attacks.
