Force Shield Power Question

[Kesendeja]

How would you go about duplicating the Force Shield using Powers/Advantages?

Enhanced Block for the defense bonus.
The shield itself depends on the setting, Accessory Perk if they are available, Extra Arm with Weapon Mount and Force Extension (from stretching) for a Supers game. Its come up on the forums a few times so a search should find earlier threads.

Wouldn't it be all of the enhanced defenses? I thought the DB for shields added to all defense rolls.

If that's the case, that would be crazy expensive.

Perhaps start with DR with Left Arm Only + Force Field.

The biggest bonus, IMHO, to use a shield, force or otherwise, would be the DB, not the DR. DR can be gained in so many different ways yet using a shield is the only way I have seen to get a DB (without buying 3 advantages that is)

Also, the DR for a shield only effects the durability of the shield on a miss, it has nothing to do with the character.

I've tried a couple of builds for this and can't seems to be able to replicate a force shield with advantages/powers for less than 100+ (and my search-fu must be infant weak, as I haven't found any other thread referencing this)

Accessory perk (Shield) is cannon. or buy it as a gadget if its beyond normal capabilities. Cost based on DB for Block and the limited bonus to Dodge or Parry (p. B374) is just a function of using it.
