Molecular acid shield [minor] by Iczer

'Did those bullets just vaporize?'

The character suspends a field of reactive molecules around him, which react to violent force by means of aggressive disintegration.
Essentially, when high speed attacks threaten to puncture this field, the molecules react by eating away the incoming force. Solid items penetrating this layer, that sits from 1-4 inches from the character's body, take 4d6 damage, plus 1d6 per level of experience. Items that are dissolved by this field are too fragile to hurt the character seriously (inflicting 1 point of damage per dice of damage instead) and is likely to have been destroyed.
The molecular acid does not affect living flesh and blood, but will inflict it's normal damage to those transformed into inorganic or nonliving substances. (GM's call really on what counts, but when in doubt, inflict half damage instead. particularly to people transformed into wood, or covered in chitin) The character adds 3d6 to all unarmed, bare body blows when striking inanimate objects.
