Legacy Power: Personal Shield Generator

"Halo? Never heard of it. We don't have video games when I come from."

A 0 Gift Armor Power used by Toby, created by CptheJoker.

Description

Standard issue in the Future Soldier's home time, the Personal Shield Generator (PSG) projects a protective energy barrier around the body. It absorbs damage far better than traditional armor, but its battery is quickly drained. When depleted, the PSG must spend a few seconds recharging.

The device itself is an unremarkable metal hexagon that is worn on the belt. When struck, the normally-invisible field of the PSG flashes, revealing a bright yellow honey-comb pattern encasing the body.

System

When wearing the PSG, subtract 4 from damage dealt to you by physical attacks, down to a minimum of 0 damage. Armor from multiple sources does not stack.

This is a unique item that may be lost or stolen.

Drawbacks

  • Focus (Using this Effect requires a specific kind of item.)
  • Unique Focus (This Power takes the form of a specific, unique item, which can be borrowed, lost, or stolen. You must use / wear this item as intended to use this Power.)
  • Recharging Shield (Any time your Armor prevents Damage, your Armor rating is temporarily decreased by 2. Whenever it goes five Rounds without preventing any Damage, it is restored back to its full value.)

Parameters

Armor: 4 ( 4 )
