Shield (Psikinesis)
Base(s): Psikinesis
Usage: general(re-act, R, 1fp) -> eff= 30° arc shield at 1(metre) to give +M*(rst,frc,prc,sls) for min
Mishap: insanity-1 (acquired on first ranks)
Description: Make a force shield between you and your attacker.
As a re-act, you can build an invisible force barrier against attacks that target anything behind the shield for up to 1 minute. The shield stands 1 metre from you. The shield confers +M*(rst,frc,prc,sls) as an interposing barrier in the direction the attack is coming from. The barrier protects you in a 30° volumetric arc (15° either side as well as up and down), and also, any creature directly behind you will gain the benefit of this protection.
For each additional fp, you can add 30° to the shield. Thus by spending 12fp, in total, you could have a 360-degree horizontal shield.
