Effect: Array (Create Object)
Action: Standard (active)
Range: Ranged
Duration: Sustained
Saving Throw: None
Cost: 2 points per rank
You can generate and project a solid force field, forming simple geometric shapes with it like a Create Object effect. Among other things, you can use force shapes to create protective barriers around yourself and others, providing cover with Toughness equal to your power rank.
ALTERNATE POWERS
The following are some suitable Alternate Powers for a Force Constructs Array:
• Deflect: You can shape force fields to deflect any ranged attack within normal range, giving you a Ranged Deflect (all attacks) effect at half your Force Constructs power rank.
• Force Bolt: You can shape a force field into a bolt of kinetic force that strikes for power rank damage (a Ranged Damage effect).
• Force Shatter: By projecting a force field inside an object and expanding it, you can damage its structure, giving you Perception Range Penetrating Damage at half your power rank, Limited to objects.
• Force Snare: You can trap targets inside solid force fields that limit their mobility, giving you a Snare effect at your Force Constructs rank.
• Suffocate: By trapping a target’s head inside a force field, you inflict a Suffocate effect at your Force Constructs rank.
POWER FEATS
• Affects Insubstantial: Your force constructs affect insubstantial beings, either a half their normal Toughness (rank 1) or their full Toughness (rank 2 of this power feat).
• Progression: You can create larger force constructs; each rank of this power feat moves the base volume of your constructs (a cube 5-feet on a side) one step up the Progression Table (to a 10-foot cube, then 25 feet, 50 feet, and so forth).
• Selective: You can make your force constructs selectively incorporeal against certain effects and corporeal against others, changing their selectivity each round as a free action. Among other things this allows allies or certain attacks to pass through the cover provided by your constructs while still blocking others.
• Subtle: Your force constructs are difficult to detect; with one rank of this power feat, it requires a Notice check (DC 20) to perceive your constructs, with two ranks, your constructs are completely undetectable to senses other than touch (since they remain solid).
EXTRAS
• Affects Others: This extra is not required for others to benefit from the cover provided by your force constructs, it is a normal effect of the power.
• Area: Your Force Constructs rank plus any Progression power feat ranks define the area your constructs cover. This extra does not apply.
ASSOCIATED EFFECTS
• Force Field: A personal force field is a natural additional power for someone with Force Constructs.
• Force Flight: You can lift yourself into the air on a platform or structure made of force. If you can be knocked off your platform, apply the Platform flaw to your Flight.
• Immunity: If those inside your force constructs are protected from the environment outside, you may have Immunity 9 (life support) with Affects Others (+1) and a Shapeable Area Linked to your Force Constructs (costing 27 points total).
