Although it's not coming from the executive jacket, I think this guy does have a fair bit of reactive defense. Loaded up on melee and going after him, I was doing consistently just 7 damage with each attack.

Been a while since I've looked at reactive defense. Looks like 5 reactive:

 -6 FP The stick of dynamite explodes beneath the executive for 1 fire damage.
 -4 FP The stick of dynamite explodes beneath the executive for 1 fire damage.
 -2 FP The stick of dynamite explodes beneath the executive for 3 fire damage.
  0 FP The stick of dynamite explodes beneath the executive for 5 fire damage. (natural 5 before reactive kicks in)
  1
  2 FP The stick of dynamite explodes beneath the executive for 5 fire damage.
  3
  4 FP The stick of dynamite explodes beneath the executive for 5 fire damage.
  5 
  6 FP The stick of dynamite explodes beneath the executive for 6 fire damage. (5 less than expected therefore 5 reactive)
