FF, FW, and Armor

[mcgreeno]

I have a quest concerning FF, FW, and Armor.

 

As I understandt it Force Field works Identical to Armor except Force Field cost endurance. However one of my players believes that Force Field works like Force wall except Force Field is mobile.

 

The Question is Which View point is correct.

 

Force Field = Armor: except FF cost End

Force Field = Force Wall: Except only personal and is mobile.

 

IF I am wrong; however is a little more difficult. I have listened to my players arguments on FW vs. FF long enough,

 

What would you recomend as a advantage cost, I was thinking a +1 for making force wall; personal only and mobile

 

That is if it works the way I think it does

 

Thank you for you time.

Re: FF, FW, and Armor

 

I'm not sure that there's any need to categorize it either way. Armor and Force Field, as "personal" defenses, move with the character as he moves (so to speak). Per 5Er 179, a character can make himself the center of his Force Wall so that it moves with him (though it's true that FWs are normally immobile, as the text also points out). To create a FW that only protects the character generating it, use the Limitation Self Only as described on 5ER 182.

 

If that doesn't clarify things for you, please post a follow-up.
