MagnaForce Security Shield
One answer to today's crime problem is Simcronic's newest development, the MagnaForce security shield system. Sold in pairs, this wrist-worn defense system generates a localized defensive field capable of stopping low to medium power blaster bolts. Miniature defensive force field systems remain extremely expensive, but they are a suitable last-ditch defense.


Model: Simcronics MagnaForce Security Shield
Type: Personal defensive field generator
Skill: Melee parry
Cost: 25,00 pair, 2,500 (custom power cells)
Availability: 4, F, R or X

Game Notes: This unit is used much like starship shields, except that it is character scale. Initial activation requires an Easy melee parry roll, which generates a round shield 50 cm in diameter. A character may make a melee parry round - if the roll is higher than the firer's blaster roll (as per normal shield rolls), the wearer has placed the foce shield in the way. If the roll is lower than the attacker's blaster roll, the character didn't get the shield in place, the blaster bolt must roll against the shield's defensive field of 4D to see if it penetrates the field (use the protection rules on page 63 of Starwars, Second Edition). Any further damage affects the target as indicated in the chart "Cover Modifiers." The power cell will work for two minutes before being drained.
