Shields

These especially high-tech shields have unique abilities that can't be fully encompassed by their traits. They can be improved like a normal shield using the Shield Improvements table but when doing so, subtract the adjustments listed in the table for its starting grade from those for the new grade. For example, a superior firewall projector has 22 additional Hit Points, not 68. Some specific shields also gain additional benefits at certain grades, as listed in their stat blocks.
