Shield Gauntlet Defense

Shield Gauntlet Defense

Source: Rebellion Era Sourcebook, page 49.

Control Difficulty: Moderate.

Sense Difficulty: Easy.

This power may be kept up.

Effect: This power works in a manner similar to that of the lightsaber combat power, but centers on defense. If a character successfully uses this power, he adds his Sense rating to his brawling parry and melee parry skill rolls while using a Shield Gauntlet. Additionally, blaster bolts can be deflected using the melee parry skill, and the system is the same as the one listed for lightsaber combat.
