Harmonic Shield

Harmonic Shield: [Minor] by Iczer

'The sounds of the bullets hitting him...it was like an orchestra!'

The character can generate a kind of fluid energy, which flows over and around his body like a thick skin of liquid, transperant energy. This field of energy provides an AR of 10 and an SDC equal to twice the character's ME (+10 per level). When objects strike this force field, the energy breaks up, making a kind of sound distinctive to the type of impact. The shield automatically halves the damage from energy sources. The character also enjoys a kind of psionic and magic resistance (as well as a resistance to some super powers). if the character would need to make a saving throw vs magic, psionics or another power, he may choose to dump 1 SDC per level of the attacker (or per spell level).

Drawbacks, not only does it require an action every melee round to maintain the field, but it also slows him down by 25% (reduce Spd by 1/4). It is also bad for stealth, as it not only glows, but sings when damaged! also the coating prevents the character from handling objects without dropping the field (effectively has hands like boxing gloves). on the up side when the field is active, he has +4 PS. The field regenerates 1 SDC every 5 minutes. all powers and bonuses of the field dissapear when the field is destroyed.
