==Fields==

Powerfields are potent devices capable of withstanding devastating hits. The RAW rules are exceedingly random so all fields will be moddified to function more like Void Shields on starships. Each field will have a Threshold and a Rating. Any hit that deals more damage than the Threshold lowers the current rating of the field by 1 and the hit is completely defeated. Any hit that does less damage than the field is ignored. Regardless of whether a hit reduces the field's rating it must check for overload. If the field overloads it's rating is immediately reduced to 0 though the overloading hit is negated as normal.

A field with a zero Rating has failed entirely and provides no protection.

In melee combat fields can sometimes be bypassed by lucky or cunning fighters who take advantage of the fact that fields provide no protection against slow moving objects or projectiles. Any melee (or some special ranged attacks using devices meant for just this purpose) that scores net DoS greater than the ''maximum'' Rating of the field bypasses it entirely, do not check for overload or reduce the Rating.
