Projected Force Field

Projected force field [minor] by Iczer

'I'll save you!"

The character can project a force field to encompass others to give them protection. The character targets another within 60 feet and makes a strike roll. A ray of energy reaches out and strikes the target, who becomes surrounded in a field of force. (+4 to strike targets).
The force field has a total SDC equal to the character's MEx2 plus 10 per level. the character can create two fields (one from each hand) but both fields share the SDC. SDC is recovered at a rate of 1 per minute. The character uses one melee action per round maintaining another's field, and must remain within range and not lose line of sight to the target (loses two actions for 2 targets).
The character has a number of other options with this power, aside from shielding a friend.

• Can be used to shield a chunk of air, allowing the character to parry (not auto parry) any incoming attack within 60 feet (uses a +4 rather than his parry bonus)
• Shielding an enemy's weapon prevents it from being fired.
• Shielding something will cause it to hold together. water can be shielded thus forming a bubble that holds together. a gas grenade can be made to hold its contents in and a shielded door has to be forced open etc.

The beam can be disrupted though. If blocked, the target no longer receives any protection.

The character also enjoys a smaller force field, having an SDC bonus equal to his ME attribute plus 2 per level.
