Emotion Shield, contributed by DBUSS Q Min: 1 This power is the mirror opposite of Psychic Shield (see Psychic shield). Psychic shield defends against mental but not emotion powers, Emotion Shield does the opposite. Emotion altering powers in the core book include Empathic Manipulation and many of the social abilities (Face of Terror, Awe, etc). Note that this power doesn't defend against normal social abilities, only quantum enhanced ones. Every point of E-Shield raises the difficulty of effecting the character by 2 and provides 2 soak. Example: Timmy the Trickster has Manipulation 5 & Mega-Manipulation 4 with the Trickster enhancement. Timmy has just been caught by LeadHead, who has Willpower 3 and five dots of E-Shield. Timmy activates his trickster enhancement and trys to convince Lead to let him go. Timmy gets 6 normal successes, 4 more from his Mega-Dice, and 3 autosuccesses from his trickster enhancement. All 3 autosuccesses bounce off of LeadHead's E-Shield, as do all 4 from the mega-dice, but the other 6 are more than enough to convince Lead that Timmy really doesn't deserve to spend time in jail. |
