The generated force bubble moves in tandem with the wearer. Similarly to the | The generated force bubble moves in tandem with the wearer. Similarly to the {{favilink|Force Bubble}} mutation, the wearer can fire missile weapons or other projectiles (such as {{favilink|Light Manipulation|Lase}} beams) outward through their own force bubble. The bubble disappears when the creature or player wearing the {{name}} chooses to deactivate the bracelet or the energy cell powering the bracelet runs out of charge. The bubble can also be damaged by direct attacks or other forms of damage, such as [[gases]]. This can cause one or more segments of the generated force bubble to be destroyed. Deactivating and re-activating the {{name}} will restore the entire forcefield to full strength. | ||

== Disruption to Pathfinding == | == Disruption to Pathfinding == | ||
While activated, the generated force bubble acts as a wall for enemy AI pathfinding purposes. This means that many enemies (particularly those which normally approach to attack in melee range) will no longer pursue the wearer of a {{name}}, even if the wearer attacks those enemies from range. Additionally, since the game considers the wearer to be completely encased in walls and unreachable by enemies, it is possible to use a | While activated, the generated force bubble acts as a wall for enemy AI pathfinding purposes. This means that many enemies (particularly those which normally approach to attack in melee range) will no longer pursue the wearer of a {{name}}, even if the wearer attacks those enemies from range. Additionally, since the game considers the wearer to be completely encased in walls and unreachable by enemies, it is possible to use a {{f|recoiler}} while the force bubble is active, even if nearby hostiles would otherwise normally prevent using the recoiler. | ||

Creatures and objects that can be pushed will be pushed unless there is no more room to push them, typically when they become pinned against a more solid wall, in which case the creature or object will enter the same tile as the forcefield. Creatures in this scenario are capable of attacking the wearer at melee range. | Creatures and objects that can be pushed will be pushed unless there is no more room to push them, typically when they become pinned against a more solid wall, in which case the creature or object will enter the same tile as the forcefield.

== Overloading == | |||
When [[overloaded]], {{name|plural}} gain increased pushing ability: the maximum weight they can push increases from 7500lbs to 8500lbs, and their maximum pushing difference increases from 4 tiles to 6 tiles. Overloading also provides a +2 bonus to initially overpower [[normality]], although the generated force field will be eroded as usual after activation. | |||
