Variable Field

Variable field [minor] by Iczer

'I'll get to you in a minute Chiller, first I have to lay the smack down on this guy'

The character generates an energy field around himself that splinters and cracks over time, releasing a corona of energy at will.
The field provides 50 SDC (+10 per level) and an AR of 12 which regenerates at a rate of 5 per minute. The character can vary the field's permeability, letting some damage through while letting the field absorb the rest.
When cracked however, (takes any damage), it releases it's energy energetically.
If the field takes any damage, the character becomes coated in an energy field that inflicts 2d6 damage upon contact until the end of the melee. The damage field has a damage bonus of 2 points per level, OR the damage absorbed, whichever is lower.
[Jackson (4th level) is struck by Pumathon for 12 damage. Jackson's variable field absorbs 12 and Jackson erupts in a 2d6+8 energy field until the end of the round]
The character can 'crack' his own variable field, inflicting 1d4 damage to his field at will without expending an action.
The character must expend an action to start up the field, and one more action per round to maintain.
The character can also change what type of energy he radiates every round with the field. Energy options are electricity, heat/fire, light/radiation, cold, and sonic.
Once the variable field is destroyed, this power ceases operation until he regenerates at least half his field's SDC.
