A blaster shield is a backpack sized unit capable of automatically nullifying plasma weapon fire. Sensors in the pack and harness detect incoming plasma energy and create a shield calibrated to exactly cancel out the round’s destructive effects. The shield is capable of stopping 150 points of damage before its power cell runs dry; any damage remaining from a partially blocked shot continues unimpeded.
Some efforts have been made to shrink the technology of the plasma shield to make it less cumbersome, with limited success at higher tech levels. The goal of actually powering the shield off of the energy of the incoming plasma rounds has yet to be realized.
