New Action - Protection

[Ziegander]

Intended to be a more generic type of Force Field effect.

PROTECTION
Cost Level = Action Number

Stones spent on the Protection action may only be shifted to defense, however they apply at full value, ignoring negative situational modifiers, against all types of attack be they physical, energy based, mental, or magical.

Stones shifted to defense using this action are not automatically doubled as the Force Field action, and cannot be held in the Action box to be used offensively. This action is for characters looking for a more reliable defense mechanism than shifting their other actions' stones to defense.

OPTIONS

--Durability bonus, +3 cost levels
--Stones shifted to defense are doubled, +2 cost levels
--Area Effect, +2 cost levels
--Ignores 2x Damage from all attacks, +1 cost level

Well balanced, options equivalent to other Actions, the only thing I might wish to see would be a couple of different applications, but otherwise I like it!

[Ziegander]

Thanks. Different applications such as?

Someone needs to give this to the Juggernaut with Durability Bonus, Double, and Ignore 2X. Now try to get into his head... Heh...

How about holding them in the Action box with a "bleed-off" effect? You don't get the defense until shifting them there, but it allows you to keep your defense up for a short time (remember, Durability/duration limits how long you can constantly do things)
