Your yourself responded...
"Lizard -- there's a Limitation for Force Wall called Feedback that does what you want; you could adapt it to Force Field if you wanted without any difficulty. It's on page 182 of the 5th Ed. Revised rulebook."
Now, you make it sound pretty obvious as to how this works but i am really confused.
The feedback lim on force wall makes the force wall work like a force field does in that damage soaks thru to the character even if body doesn't get thru, with the exception that the FW might even be around someone else and the fw guy gets the pain. The text on pg 182 literally says "with the force wall's defense applied as a force field."
But, its certainly not obvious how to adapt this limitation to apply to a force field since the force field already applies its defenses as a force field.
Can you perhaps elaborate/clarify/give-an-example on what you meant by your answer (adapting the lim on page 182 to force field)? if not here, then maybe over at RPG.net?
