The Reliquary | RSC / Hard Light Barrier

By using magnetic field adjustments and specialized charge leads in the form of an additional wrist-worn device, a personal shield unit can be set to create a sudden point of impact barrier composed of overcharged energy and photons. Once per encounter, as a Reaction the shield becomes a completely impenetrable Hard Light Barrier, preventing any and all pass-through damage from harming the wearer. This can only be used to block attacks the user is aware of, and once used the Shield Rating drops by 10. If the shield unit is reduced to SR:0 in this fashion, the unit cannot be recharged until it is connected to an external power source, such as a Ship's Systems, Power Generator, or other compatible power source.

Cost: 1,000Cr

Hard Points: 1

Restrictions: Licensed

Special: The Hard Light Barrier effect is universal, and disregards the native pass-through of the emitter type; Kinetic Screens with the Hard Light Barrier can still be used to block ranged weapons with the [Piercing], [Slashing], or [Bludgeoning] tags, and Ray/Particle units can be activated to block melee strikes. Additionally, the Hard Light Barrier is incompatible with the Softened Field modification.
