The power to create a protective barrier.
Used by Daniel Wiener, Created by loroman1211.
(The target and source of this Effect are obvious to bystanders.You must actively and obviously be using Watch.)

Daniel has started to find a way to protect himself when things go bad. He is not much of a fighter so his shielding does the help for him. a blue ball that is encoded in sigil and Druidic runes. Very obvious and bright.


Exert your Mind and spend an Action to activate. You must actively and obviously use Watch to activate this Effect. Roll Intellect + Culture at Difficulty 6.

If you succeed, you create a Barrier around yourself, which absorbs the next Outcome + 2 Damage. Half the damage absorbed is reflected back at the attacker, which they can Defend against as normal. The Damage reduction from the Barrier is applied before Armor, and is treated like Armor by any effects such as Armor Penetration. You may only have 1 active barrier at a time.

You must maintain Concentration while using this Effect. The Barrier will fall if you are interrupted, or if it absorbs the full amount of damage. When a Barrier falls, you cannot use this Effect again for a minimum of 2 Rounds. As long as it does not fall, the barrier regenerates back to full strength at the end of each Round of combat.

After this Effect ends, you cannot move quicker than a walk for one minute and suffer a -1 dice penalty for an hour.
