Force Shields:
Are a High Tech device that generates a Deflection or Armour effect, depending on the type of shield (this can be reset with a successful Tech Redemption‐High Tech skill roll). They are charged and use 1 pt per hit. They use a fusion battery which can be replaced but requires a standard Tech Redemption‐Tech roll (yes replacing a battery reqs a trained tech, get over it!). Armour 8/16: this means the shield will trigger if the damage done is at least 8 pts and upto 16 pts. If less than 8 it does not kick in and thus will allow must humans to be stunned. If the damage exceeds 16 the shield is overpowered and fails to stop any damage over that value, but still expends a charge. AP has no effect on Force Shields.
Personal Shields: 2 def, 8/16 armour – 10 charges
Dueling Shields: 2 def, 8/16 armour – 15 charges, concealable.
Assault Shields: 4 def, 8/24 armour – 20 charges – can be worn over most armours, not plate
Battle Shields: 4 def, 8/32 armour – 30 charges. With any armour.
Burnout and Leaking
Shields are designed to stop single small impacts, multiple impacts at the same time, or a broad area impact, may cause it to burnout and fail for one round. When a shield suffers such an attack roll a d6, on a 1 or 2 to shield works against this damage but fails for one whole action after that. If a shield fails roll again, a 1 indicates a total failure and the shield needs repairs before it will work again.
Weapons that are indicated as being able to leak through a shield roll a d6 for each wound that would have been inflicted had the shield not stopped it. FS weapons that needed 1‐2 will still inflict a wound on a 1‐3. FS weapons that needed a 1 need to roll a 1‐2. Access normal damage first, then apply leak damage.
Modifying Shields
You can modify an Energy Shield to customise its values from the standard 8/16, to say 10/18.
Adjusting the lower end shouldnt be a big problem, straight TR/High Tech rolls vs 4 + 2/pt.
‐A fumbled roll destroys it.
‐A natural roll of 1 breaks it.
‐A failed roll (less than 4) means that shield cannot be adjusted ever
‐An unsuccessful roll means you cannot adjust this device until your skill values improve or you gain fresh insight.
At the higher end it probably should be more difficult. 4+4/pt
Extra templates:
A huge template is one level bigger than large, a gigantic template is one level bigger than huge.
Passions
Inciting Passion is done with the SPIRIT characteristic. Spend a wyrd to roll vs Passion. (p104). Passion will give the player +1 per success and raise to a nominated skill roll for the duration of the event. Fail and get ‐1, fumble and get ‐2 to ALL rolls. A passion target must be a valid reason/cause to arouse you, this can be reflected in some of your hinderances.
