Arm shields [minor] by Iczer

'I'll hold off the gunfire, you get to the helicopter'

The character can generate shielding over his arms and hands. This allows the character to parry weapons with his bare hands and provides a +2 to parry.
By expending an action, the character gains a one time +4 extra bonus to a parry attempt, and may parry gunfire, energy blasts or even burst fire with his hands (no penalty), and if a ranged attack is successfully deflected, there is a 30% chance +5% per level of the ranged attack ricocheting back to the attacker, as long as that attacker is within 40 feet +10 feet per level (roll to strike firer with a -2 to hit).
Shielded arms can be used to handle hot or sharp objects.
