Joe takes a meditative pose and goes "ohm" for 6 seconds, during which he establishes his inner peace and then wills it to supernaturally manifest. A nearly invisible spherical barrier slowly appears all around him and his friends, and Joe begins to glow brightly. The barrier ripples with soft light (like under sunshine through water) when touched by anything, and it splashes and cracks when damaged.
While dangers, chaos, and bad weather are all a part of life, Joe's inner peace is available to all who are (literally) within his inner circle.

If you succeed, you create a Barrier extending out 15 feet from yourself, which absorbs 2 times the next Outcome + 2 Damage. Only applies to attacks which originated outside the 15 foot radius, and protects anyone who is within that radius. Nothing can pass into the bubble until the barrier is broken. 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.

You cant help but take everything from an enemy who would allow you. (Anytime someone should flee from you, roll self control not to persue.).
