"extra hit points, somehow worn on the outside" is usually spelt DR
(Ablative). The shield should not make me go Splat harder when I fall,
nor should it make me do more damage when I body check someone. Ergo, DR
(Ablative) - note not Semi-ablative, full Ablative means you loose one
DR per one damage blocked.
From the forum, and a little bit of brainstorming, it was suggested:
DR 4 (Ablative-80%; Reflexive +40%; Limited: Physical -20%; Costs
Variable Fatigue 8 -20%; Variable +5%; Cosmic: Undivisable Defense
+100%; Force Field +10%; Arcane Power -10%)
Ablative means the DR gets damaged. Reflexive means that it comes up
when I'm attacked, Variable means only as many levels as needed to block
the attack come up, Costs Fatigue (variable) means that I pay 2 fatigue
per level of DR activated.
So exactly the number of DR required to block the attack are activated,
costing me 2 DR per point blocked. As ablative, that point blocked
destroys a point of DR immediately.
The Force Field, Limited defense and Cosmic defense are part of the
nature of the ability, and Arcane Power is the power modifier (Arcane
being a college of Magic).
Of course, the problems with recharging the entire DR by recasting, and
the entire shield going pffft after 60 seconds still need to be addressed.
