Ability Breakdown & Details

Force Shield Percentage damage reduction from Force Power attacks (functions similarly to toughness).

This is a direct percentage reduction. For example, if your Force Shield was 25 you would receive 25% less damage from an attack (attack damage x ((100 - 25) / 100)). Note that it only works against Force Power attacks and not melee, ranged, or Lightsaber attacks.

The default mod when using Force Shield 1 is +25 and for Force Shield 2 is +45. However, these values increase as you climb through the FRS, being influenced by the Force Control modifier.

Force shield can also absorb damage reflected back onto a user. Example a jedi using force shield, then using lighting on another jedi who has force feedback up. The jedi receives the reflected damage but it goes through the force shield as well.

Force shield 2 lasts for 30 minutes.

This ability can be toggled on or off.

Note: I think force shield needs a force cost modifier like force armor, as force shield only works against force attacks, just as force armor only works against non force attacks. I think this was intended but not put in.

Modifiers should be as follows:

Force shield has an additional force cost during its use which follows the formula:

Force Shield 1 Force Cost = 0.5 x damage absorbed

Force Shield 2 Force Cost = 0.3 x damage absorbed
