(L6) Force field vs. Hostiles (33-34) [ Back ] [ Next ]
The
hero emits a psionic aura that repels any hostile lifeforms. The Power
automatically probes the minds of anyone in the area and analyzes their
intentions toward the hero. Anything harmful is repulsed, as if a Power rank
material strength wall had risen between them. Neutral or friendly life is not
affected by this field. Okay, I hear you asking: "What if somebody starts
out friendly, but turns hostile after he's inside the field?" The answer
is, he's catapulted harmlessly out of the field.
Rank
determines the size and material strength of the field. Appropriate ranges are
shown on column A of the Range Table. The field can be breached by several
means. Brute force always works. Mental Invisibility allows someone to bypass
the field's sorting ability. The field is ineffective against cybernetic life.
The
field protects the hero from melee weapons or slugfest, but not from projected
or missile weapons. |
