[[File:Consul with Activated Force Bracelet.png|left|frame|A [[True Kin]] Consul wearing an activated force bracelet.]] | |||
A {{Name}} is a wrist-worn [[artifact]] which, when worn, powered, and activated, creates a 3x3 ring of {{Favilink|Forcefield}} around the creature wearing the {{name}}.{{Code Reference|class=ForceEmitter}} While activated, the {{name}} drains 500 charge per turn from the energy cell installed in it, which will quickly drain most [[:Category:Energy Cells|energy cells]]. | |||
[[Category: | Upon activation, the game displays the following message: | ||
{{Qud quote|&yA &Bforce bubble &ypops into being around you!|noindent=true}} | |||
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. | |||
When the {{name}} is deactivated or loses power, the game displays the following message: | |||
{{Qud quote|&yThe &Bforce bubble &ysnaps off.|noindent=true}} | |||
== 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 [[recoiler]] while the force bubble is active, even if nearby hostiles would otherwise normally prevent using the recoiler. | |||
== Push Effect == | |||
The forcefield generated by a {{name}} pushes creatures and some lightweight obstacles away as the wearer approaches them. Obstacles that can be pushed include very weak walls, such as {{favilink|plant matter}}, {{favilink|large boulder|plural}}, and some [[:Category:Furniture|furniture]]. The forcefield also forces unlocked {{favilink|door|plural}} that it comes in contact with to open. | |||
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. | |||
== 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. | |||
==Obtaining== | |||
A {{name}} can be: | |||
* Found in [[zone tier|mid-tier zones]] or occasionally equipped by mid-tier creatures | |||
* Obtained as a guaranteed part of the starting equipment for [[True Kin]] [[Consul|consuls]]. | |||
* Traded in exchange for {{favilink|Kindrish}} at {{favilink|Bey Lah}}. | |||
== Tips == | |||
{{opinion}} | |||
* If you have a {{favilink|biodynamic power plant}} or {{favilink|Electrical Generation}}, modding a {{name}} to be [[jacked]] can be an effective way to keep it permanently powered. | |||
* When combined with a recoiler, can be a fantastic escape mechanism, even if you only have enough cell energy to power the forcefield for a turn or two. | |||
