Powers

Containment Shell

Projects a Containment Shell to pull in and capture foes in a targeted location. This hollow force field shell immobilizes and exerts a strong attractive force on any foe that attempts to cross its boundary, pulling them into the shell's interior, though more powerful foes may be able to resist. The attractive force also prevents foes from being pushed out of the shell, preventing jumping, making affected foes immune to Repel effects, and causing Knockback effects to be reduced to Knockdown. Containment Shell's attract effect can still affect a target that has been captured by Barrier Field.

Dispersion Bubble

Creates a large bubble which protects all allies inside. While active, the Dispersion Bubble gives all allies within increased Defense against all attack types. The Dispersion Bubble also protects allies from Immobilization, Disorient, and Hold effects. The user is also granted protection from Knockback and Sleep, but this additional protection does not apply to allies.

Force Affinity

Your affinity for manipulating force enables you to redirect and streamline the forces in and around your body, allowing you to weaken the impact of attacks and make your own motions more efficient. This gives you a small amount of Resistance to all damage except Psionics and reduces the endurance cost of your powers. This power is always on and costs no endurance.

Force Bolt

Discharges a bolt of force that deals a decent amount of Smashing Damage and knocks foes back a good distance. If the target is currently Flying they will also be knocked out of the air. The target may also be disoriented by the impact, though stronger targets may require multiple impacts to be affected. The force of this attack is so strong that it can also knock down other nearby enemies, though they will not take any damage or be disoriented. Force Bolt's knockback can still affect a target that has been captured by Barrier Field. Damage: Minor, Recharge: Fast
