Hard Light Shield

Capacity 20 ;
AC Bonus +2 ;
Usage 1 charge/minute


This bulky bracelet is covered in blinking blue lights and pulsing holographic emitters. A hard light shield produces a translucent but substantial holographic barrier when activated. The shield bonus counts as a force effect and applies to the wielder’s touch AC against beam and ray attacks (but not other touch attacks). As a transparent force effect, a hard light shield provides no bonus against lasers. A hard light shield can be used to deliver shield bash attacks like a heavy shield.   Activating or deactivating a hard light shield is a swift action. This item occupies the wearer’s wrist slot.
