Energy Shield Training
Physical Armor: 0 Force Armor: 2
Encumbrance: 0 Damage Resistance: Force
A handheld field generator powered by a barrier projection array designed for personal safety from a wide variety of hazards. Energy Shields grant Damage Resistance against Force Damage equal to their wearer’s Energy Shield Equipment Rank. Energy Shields are personal protective barriers that deflect extreme temperatures, electricity, and chemical deterioration. An Energy Shield can become temporarily Discharged when struck by a Critical Hit or as a requirement to use a Class Feature or Heroic Action. While Discharged, Energy Shields lose any Damage Resistance and can not be utilized again until Recharged. An Energy Shield can be Recharged as a Move Action. An Energy Shield can be equipped in an Off-hand Weapon Slot and wielded as a One(1) Handed Cast Weapon that deals Force Damage at Melee Weapon Range. Investing in an Energy Shield Training will enhance a Character’s Force Saves and Force Impacts at every Odd Rank and their Attack and Damage Rolls with Cast Weapons and Force Armors on Even Ranks. At Rank Five(5) and Ten(10), the Character’s Base Scale with any Weapon increases by plus One(+1), permanently increasing their Weapon Damage with all Weapons.
