Force Field
Overview
Force Field is one of the powersets. It is a Defender primary power set and a Controller and Mastermind secondary power set.
The Force Field powers give you the ability to create shells of energy that protect yourself and your allies from various forms of damage and harm. Force Fields do not reduce damage, but reduced your allies chance of getting hit in the first place.
