The power to create a protective barrier.
Used by Sketch, Created by honeylendri.
(The target and source of this Effect are obvious to bystanders.)

When an ally is about to be hit, Sketch can't look away, and a wave of energy escapes them, coalescing as a glowing green gold shield around their ally.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action or Reaction to activate. Select a Animate target within 20 feet. You cannot target yourself. Roll Perception + Influence at Difficulty 6.

If you succeed, you create a barrier around your target, which absorbs the next Outcome Damage. The Damage reduction from the barrier is applied before Armor, and is treated like Armor by any effects such as Armor Penetration. You may only have 1 active barrier at a time.

You must maintain Concentration while using this Effect. The barrier will fall if you are interrupted, or if it absorbs the full amount of Damage. When a barrier falls, you cannot use this Effect again for a minimum of 2 Rounds.

  • If you use this Effect as a Reaction to dodge, you still need to make a roll to dodge. The Effect will occur regardless of the Outcome of this roll, but if you fail you will be hit by the relevant attack prior to the Effect occurring.
  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.

Jason was on his way back from the clinic late at night when he witness a mugging in process he paniced and even tho he managed to intimidate the assailant with stating that he has called the cops and he will be apprehended the victim of the mugging was severely wounded.

When he kneeled to try to provide first aid to the guy , he saw that he had more than 6 stabs and would be dificault for him to survive until the ambulence came in time.

With out second though and driven by addrenaline he tried to use this power to take just enough injurys to save the mans life and in the end he himself collapsed.

The ambulenced took them both in the hospital and the mans life was saved.

This event happened roughtly 1 week before his leave of absent where he was dismissed for 3 months to recover his health and to recover due to overwork.
