Shields

With all this talk of shields coming in i13 i thought i would post my ideas for what i think the set should be like.
It is designed to be well balanced with a mix of resistance, defense and a heal, as well as a couple of perks.

This is the defensive set for melee charactors (stalker/brute/tank/scrapper) the defender set is below this.

Hide
<standard description of stalker hide>
(non-stalkers get spikes instead of this)


Shield of steel
You pull out your steel shield which grants defense to smashing and lethal damage
end cost 0.26/s


Spikes
You cover your shield with small spikes, which damage foes in melee range
(For stalkers this power is replaced by hide)
end cost 0.26/s
damage minor


Insulation layer
You cover your shield with a layer of insulating polymer which grants high resistance to fire and cold damage.
This auto power costs no endurance but is only active with your shield of steel out.


Dampening Field
You fit a dampening field in the centre of your shield which grants protection from mez effects, as well as dispursing mental attacks (grants defense)
end cost 0.26/s


Reinforce
You reinforce your shield, thus increasing your maximum hitpoints for a while
+max hp
recharge very long
end cost 10.4


Shield of light
You surround your shield with a barrier of light which grants defense to energy and negative energy damage.
end cost 0.26/s


Blockade
You can place a shield down that grants a large defensive bonus, as long as you stand behind it

Mirror coat
You cover your shield with a shiny material that grants stealth, additionally any attacks that land have a chance to reflect back half the damage done to you.
(For stalkers this power does not grant any stealth but other effects remain)
end cost 0.26/s


Withdraw
You crouch down and withdraw behind your shield, making yourself invulnerable. While in this state your regeneration and recovery are boosted and you cannot move or attack.
You cannot remain withdrawn for more than 45 seconds.
regen 1000%
recovery 400%


If you wanted a defender set you could modify some of the powers to be granted onto allies and perhaps throw a few weight related debuffs in there.

All of those sound good, but maybe a melee move is in order. Something along the lines of Shield Smash or Ricochet (throw shield and it bounces off the opponent and back to you)

Loving the ideas, been thinking along those lines for a while

It's a bit late though, the shield powers where decided upon ages ago, it's only the time to do the animations that stopped it being in issue 11.

If you want to know what will actually be in Shields, these are the powers used by the romans:

Energized Shield Self: +Def(All but Psi), +Res(DefDebuff), +Prot(Stun, Sleep, Hold, Knockback/up, Repel, Immobilize)

Push Back Melee, Extreme Damage(???) (Smash), Foe High Knockback

This is the shield bash type attack, it is a melee cone and doesn't actually do much damage). BAB has said that shield have (exactly) one melee attack.

Castle is on record as saying he doesn't think stalkers will get Shields.


I really should do something about this signature.

So they shouldn't. Can't stealth about with a bloody great shield on your arm

Frankly, I'm more interested in the TYPES of sheilds that will be available with Weapon Customisation.
Here's a few of my ideas

Round (like Captain America's)
Square
Triangle
Roman/scuta
Tech
Medieval
Steel (Blue Shield's, could also be default)
Ceremonial
Riot
Energy Shield

Some could have the option for patterns and emblems

And hopefully when (if) they let us have SG emblems on the capes, it will extend to shields.

Yep, as would a car door


@Jay Leon Hart
Kerensky: this has nothing to do with underwear
Zwillinger: I put on my robe and wizard hat...
Synapse: I had to resist starting my last post off with "Yo dawg!"

hmmm i think you got that sheild attack from capt america it was his signeture move with his sheild. also liking the sheild designs

I think stalkers should get shields, but instead of a large shield, they only get a small buckler, a lightwieght small shield that they can defend and stay stealthy at the same time


A total of 14 of my nerves have been harmed in the making of this post...
