Rare, expensive, and difficult to use, personal deflector shields are one of the few types of personal armor capable of withstanding sustained blaster fire. While they can be found in many different styles and models, most personal deflector shields use limited scope ray/particle shields that deflect or completely block incoming fire. They are incredibly inefficient, requiring an immense amount of power to operate, and can only be used for short periods of time. When the wielder is using a personal deflector shield, the CM can spend any 1 Despair the wielder generates to have the shield run out of power for the remainder of the encounter. Typically, a PDS can be used for ten minutes before requiring a recharge. Recharging a personal shield requires three hours and access to the proper facilities. There are very few mass-produced examples of personal deflector shields, as the technology required to generate a shield powerful enough to stop blaster fire, but weak enough to not give the user extreme radiation poisoning, is rare. As such, those few units that can be found in the galaxy are usually custom-built one-offs that are often dangerous to wear.
