Proxima Midnight and Blind Obsession

[RPeevy]

If Proxima Midnight is being attacked by her Obsession Target and uses the superpower Martial Prowess, would she roll 7 defense dice or 5 defense dice?

7. 

Appendix A, step 5. 

The first thing done when creating a defender’s dice pool is add dice equal to the appropriate defense stat. Martial Prowess says that instead of adding dice equal to Defense, use 5 defense dice. 

The next step is add or remove dice based on other effects. This is where Blind Obsession, Incinerate, etc. come into play. 

In this case, Martial Prowess makes the first step 5 then the second step happens and Blind Obsession bumps it up another 2 dice for 7 total.
