New shield type

So use the DR to determine what is absorbed? That could work, I'll just have to make sure it doesn't get too overpowered...

Instead of treating this shield like a force screen, could I treat it as an extra layer of armor that shuts down after taking too much penetrating energy damage (so DR represents successfully diverted energy, and shield HP determines when it shuts down)? If so, how overpowered would that be (I'd probably reduce the DR, I'm not sure what to put the HP at)?
