SupraPol Cooperative Containment Shield (Area Shield) (300)
A SupraPol Cooperative Containment Shield, or SuCC-S, is, as it sounds, a Cooperative Containment Shield.
The user holds a small projector that must be at least fifteen inches long, and when active shimmers a bright mix of orange and blue.
If two users are within fifteen meters of each other, they can activate the SuCC-S over a second. Other users may contribute to the SuCC-S by entering within fifteen meters of the SuCC-S and joining one of the edges.
The SuCC-S takes the form of a one-directional energy shield of orange and blue. It blocks all matter and energy trying to pass through it from one side, and the other side is translucent and allows all matter and energy to pass. The SuCC-S forms a surface that extends a meter out from lines connecting projectors, creating rounded surfaces two meters wide. If three lines form a triangle, the shield fills in the space between these lines.
Deflecting hits drains the battery, reducing its lifespan from an hour per user in exponentially increasing increments with stronger hits. This means that the shield is good against a lot of small attacks, which might each shave a minute off the combined lifetime, but against several successive strong hits the lifetime might decrease in the order of thirty minutes off the combined lifetime. It is important to note that a SuCC-S is roughly as strong as the combined defense of the users divided by the overall area of the shield (units of one section produced by a single line five meters long). An attack that exceeds this defense can shatter a section of the shield, breaking any connection between projectors within fifteen meters of the attack.
The SuCC-S is mobile, and consequently can be moved around by attackers. An attack that at least equals half the strength of the shield can cause a section to bulge, and potentially break a connection by increasing the distance over that of fifteen meters. If the shield is broken apart into two sections, each section has half the lifetime of the original shield.
Because of the nature of the shield, it is impossible to move the shield forward if it intersects a solid object attached to the ground, but it is possible to wield this in one hand, appendage or mounted on some part of the body. Consequently, moves that do not require the user to move from where they stand are unaffected. The SuCC-S does not require concentration to maintain, but not paying attention to the amount of hits against the shield or the movement of enemies could result in the shield breaking.
Once the SuCC-S runs out of battery life, due to being overwhelmed or whittled down, the battery must be recharged. Without another move to do so, this must be done at a suitable recharging station at a base or other source of power for a minimum of fifteen minutes.
That part at the end about recharging it with a move isn’t going to fly. We don’t allow moves that circumvent shortcomings of other moves. Otherwise it looks fine, but let me know what you want to do there.[/spoiler]
Sure, I'm happy to cut out that small phrase. I was leaving the door open for ammo refill buffs and super utilities, but I guess those would contain the details themselves and could get approved or rejected separately.
End result:
