This [[Discipline]] was developed in 1982 by Dr. Antoine Stockton. A Michigan physician who was Embraced by a [[Gangrel]] with a dying ghoul and more urgency than sense, Dr. Stockton became a Night Doctor. A recalibration of the undead body’s resistance to harm was a spectacular yield from his studies of Kindred physiology. He called it “Too Too Solid Flesh” because he was a scholar of the classics. The [[Carthian Movement|Carthians]] using it in the struggle tonight are generally less educated, more modern and inclined to call it 22 Solid.
* '''Dice Pool''': This Devotion does not require a roll.


When 22 Solid is activated, it downgrades a number of [[lethal]] damage points into [[bashing]]. The damage reduced is equal to the user’s [[Resilience]].  Twenty-Two Solid can be used while standard Resilience is active, but '''22 Solid lasts only for a single turn per use'''. This Devotion does not affect damage already taken, but only new damage inflicted while the Devotion is active. If the character has [[Armor]], apply the Armor first before downgrading damage. If the Armor applies only to [[bashing]] damage, the Armor does not protect against damage that used to be lethal before it was changed into bashing by this Devotion.
