Absorption seems a pretty odd one to slap on an IA:Wall though. Still, I see what your saying.

I dont need the DR to be able to protect other people in this instance, nor to really form a force field in the shape of a shield or globe (a la area effect). Just need to be able to move the DR (with Absorption) into the way of an attack or into like a bonfire. Pretty much a ranged power block actually.

So IA: Wall. It provides DR 3 and 1/2 HP per die of innate attack. A Small Piercing attack IA costs 3 per die, needs Area Effect +50% and Persistent +40%, and could be a fixed shape for Wall +30%. So thats +120% on the IA, and +200% with Absorption, for 9 points per 3 DR in the wall. DR with Absorption +80%, Force Field +20%, Area Effect +50%, Ranged +40%, Persistent +40% (to basically make it do the same thing as our IA: Wall construction) is 49.5 points per 3 DR. I suspect that Absorption on IA:Wall is not going to fly with most GMs who see that.
