Drop Shield
A disposable rooted barrier lasts about an hour and blocks physical attacks and explosions but not magic.
Story so far
The round poker-chip-like device costs twenty crawler scalps. Once deployed and rooted in place, it can be switched on and off until its battery dies, lasting roughly one hour under light use.
It cannot move with the user and provides no magical protection. Heavy physical damage drains it, and one of Carl's large explosions would probably break the shield and still kill anyone behind it. Zabit chooses it as his primary prize.
Appearance
A round poker-chip-sized device that projects a stationary protective dome.
Role
The shield supplies temporary fixed protection for a hunter facing post-party violence.
