Power Field (Weapon Quality)

A field of power wreathes weapons with this Quality, increasing their Damage and Penetration. Such modifiers are already included in the weapon’s profile. When the character successfully use this weapon to Parry an attack made with a weapon that lacks this Quality, he has a 75% chance of destroying his attacker’s weapon. Weapons with the Warp Weapon Quality and Natural Weapons are immune to this effect.

Power Field (Force Field Type)

While most field devices are small enough to be easily disguised or concealed, power fields, though highly effective, are also the most obtrusive and overt. The smallest are heavy backpack-sized affairs, while larger models are the size of sentry weapons. The force wall they project can deflect away the strongest of attacks, but sustained use drains energy very quickly. Personal units can only be active for an hour before depletion and are so large that users are automatically Encumbered. Larger units can protect entire vehicles or emplacements and are too big to be carried.
A power field causes the air to visibly ripple and crackle with static discharge, imposing a –20 penalty on all Stealth Tests. It also does not defend against ranged attacks made within 1 metre or attacks in melee.
