Intercept energy [minor] by Iczer

"Laser eye beams?...bah...trite as always Golden Defender"

The character can form a small transparent circular shield that floats 3-6 feet from his body. this shield is tuned into energy fields, and as such, races to intercept them when they become focused. the character is allowed an autoparry against every energy type attack against him made with a total bonus equal to ME bonus (as figured by comparing to an equivalent PP bonus) +2. this is an autoparry in the truest sense, as the shield works while unconscious, asleep and unaware of incoming attacks. If the attack is blocked then no damage is inflicted. if not, the character is still allowed an attempt to dodge. The shield can be overwhelmed by numbers. The shield cannot block more than 8 energy attacks in a given melee (+1 per level).
The shield can be placed in front of the character's eyes/face to act as a view screen. It reveals sources of energy through it's surface, revealing people by heat and electrical currents through walls. While using it as a viewer it has no defensive properties (Unless someone targets the face).
