Description
Athena snaps her fingers, and a slight shimmer can be seen orbiting her target. Whenever something attempts to damage her target, the barrier shimmers and cracks like glass in midair. Bullets will disappear within it and melee attacks will bounce off. If the barrier is broken through, it shatters like a mirror and dissipates soon after.
System
Exert your Mind, choose an Animate target within 20 feet, and roll Intellect + Science Difficulty 6 as a Committed Action. If you succeed, the next Outcome + 1 Damage to that target is absorbed by the barrier. The Damage reduction from the Barrier applies before Armor, and is treated like Armor by any effects such as Armor Penetration.
You must maintain concentration while using this Power. That means you can only move at a slow walk, and cannot split your Action between using the Power and other Actions. 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 power again for a minimum of 6 - Intellect rounds.
Enhancements
- Too Slow! (You may activate this Effect as a Reaction.)
- Persistent Shielding (The barrier regenerates back to full strength at the end of each round of combat. It will still fall if the full amount of damage is dealt within a single round, or if you are interrupted.)
Drawbacks
-
Conditional
(This Effect is only available when a certain condition is met. This condition must be severe enough that this Gift is unusable the majority of the time.)
- Condition - Athena must have two useless Augments.
- Traumatic (You must make a Trauma roll when you use this Effect. Its Difficulty cannot be reduced by any means.)
