Nanok of the Blade has the special ability is that his defense is 2 + number of melee trait (the number of power dice he rolls when making a melee attack)
In the campaign RtL, there's an outdoor encounter that limits the number of power dice you can roll to 3.
If Nanok's melee trait is 5, his defense is still 7, right? We played the other day and the others in my group thought his defense should be limited to 5 (= 2 + 3 maximum power dice allowed)
