STELLAR BUCKLER

Solarian crystals and stellar capacitors are implanted in the recipient’s forearm.  Although the augmentation is hardly noticeable when inactive, the recipient can create a buckler of glowing light or solid darkness as a move action.  This buckler-like disc of stellar energy provides a shield bonus to EAC.  Each activation of the stellar buckler lasts up to 5 rounds. This augmentation doesn’t require a power source.

Once a recipient has activated stellar buckler, they can’t use it again until they have rested for 10 minutes to regain Stamina Points.  A recipient can spend 1 Resolve Point at any time during their turn to recharge it immediately. 

This augmentation is more powerful when implanted in solarian recipients.  The shield bonus increases by 1 for each attunement point the solarian gains during combat.  A fully attuned solarian can expend all their attunement points to reset the stellar buckler’s duration to 5 rounds.
