Mass Effect: Powers: Tech Armor

Name: Tech Armor
Sense Difficulty: Difficult
Alter Difficulty: Difficult
Duration: Lasts until destroyed
Cool Down: 3 rounds

Effect: This power creates an energy barrier around the user, enhancing the user's personal shields. If any damage gets through the Tech Armor, the energy armor collapses and sends out a powerful energy pulse wave, damaging everything around the power's user. All caught within this pulse wave take full damage. The shield may be willingly dropped with a Difficult Alter roll. If attempting to drop the shield after the shield has been breached but before the Energy Pulse wave has been created, increase the difficulty by 2 levels.

Notes: This power requires an Omni-tool.

Beats Alter Difficulty by	Shields	Energy Pulse Radius	Energy Pulse Damage
0 - 5	+0D+2	2.5 meters	1D+2
6 - 10	+1D+1	5.0 meters	2D+1
11 - 15	+2D	7.5 meters	3D
16 - 20	+2D+2	10.0 meters	3D+2
21 - 25	+3D+1	12.5 meters	4D+1
26 +	+4D	15.0 meters	5D

Jedi Complications: A Jedi may learn this power, but if they use this power to harm any living creature, they automatically receive a Dark Side point.

Description: The power generates an energy armor suit that boosts the user's shields. When the armor is destroyed, it sends out a pulse of energy, damaging nearby enemies and knocking down unprotected targets while staggering most protected targets.
