Armor (Action Powers)

Templates for Action

You can create a protective barrier, be it a shield, suit of armor or whatever. Such armor provides protection, but is also cumbersome. Every two points of protection gives one drawback. Shields cannot provide more than ten points of armor. The power lasts for a scene.

You decide upon protection value and drawbacks when creating the shield. It can protect someone else. Typical drawbacks include:

• Shield costs a Magic point to create
• Shield does not protect against one of the following types of damage: Disruption, Energy, Physical (Impact), or Physical (other types).
• Shield gives a -1 Reflex penalty
• Shield is immobile, if you move, you leave it behind
• Shield has a weak angle and does not protect against attacks from the rear (or one other angle, as appropriate)
