Power Fields are huge and bulky devices that were really designed to be used on vehicles. Their size and weight hinder the wearer's movements, reducing their effectiveness in hand to hand combat. A Power Field quite simply puts up an energy field around the wearer that either deflects or annihilates any incoming attacks. The system is almost perfectly reliable; only on rare occasion will the defense fail. However, the system's design only works against high velocity projectiles from ranged weapons - the relatively slow moving attacks of hand to hand weapons pass through the Field without incident. Because of these drawbacks, Power Fields are generally used by units of a defensive or standoffish nature, who must then avoid close combat engagements.
