| Fire Shields do their listed strength in [[:magic-weapons|Magical]] [[Armor-Piercing]] {{:abilities:resist_fire.png?14&nolink|}}[[elemental-resistance|Fire Damage]], and never miss (of course). The base Damage (before [[DRN]]s) dealt is reduced by the Length of the attacker's weapon, however. | Fire Shields do their listed strength in [[Magic Weapons|Magical]] [[Armor-Piercing]] {{:abilities:resist_fire.png?14&nolink|}}[[elemental-resistance|Fire Damage]], and never miss (of course).

| Some troops, [[Commander|Commanders]], and [[:pretender-chassis|Pretenders]] have an innate, persistent Fire Shield. This can be boosted by [[Empowerment]] or by giving them additional levels of {{:misc:magic:fire.png?14&nolink|}}[[Fire]] in Pretender Design; the Damage boost is **+1** for every level of Fire more than what they started with. | Some troops, [[Commander|Commanders]], and [[Pretender-Chassis|Pretenders]] have an innate, persistent Fire Shield.

| The ??Fire Shield?? [[Combat Magic|Spell]] gives the caster a Fire Shield with a strength of **9**, **+1** for every level of Fire they're overcasting it by.
