Life Shield

 Life Shield is variation of the regular Shield that works slightly differently:

• Life Shields use a direct HP value instead of a percentage. Whenever a Life Shield is re-casted while it is still active, its HP value will be "healed" up to a maximum based on a percentage of the caster's maximum HP. When active, the Life Shield will display as an orange bar below the adventurer's HP bar.
  • For example, if a Life Shield has 50% of the caster's HP, the caster's Life Shield cap is 70% HP, and then the caster adds 60% HP to the shield, the shield will have its HP value increased to 70% of the caster's HP (instead of simply replacing the 50% with 60%).
• Only one Life Shield may be active at a time. If a second is applied from a different source, the one with the highest max value wins.
  • For example, if casts Life Shield and then casts Life Shield, 's Life Shield will take priority since its cap HP is higher than that of 's.
• If a stronger Life Shield is active and then a weaker Life Shield is cast, the weaker shield will "heal" the stronger shield by increasing its HP value. For example, if 's Life Shield is active and then casts his weaker Life Shield, he will add HP to the Life Shield. Note that the stronger Life Shield's cap is still enforced, and cannot be surpassed this way.
• If more damage is taken than the Life Shield can withstand, the Life Shield will nullify as much damage as it can before the adventurer takes damage.
  • For example: taking a 1,001-damage hit while having a Life Shield that can withstand 1,000 damage will cause the adventurer to receive 1 damage.
  • Since the adventurer still ultimately takes damage, afflictions will not be nullified in this situation.
• Life Shields take priority over regular shields.
  • Using the previous example, if an adventurer has a Life Shield that can withstand 1,000 damage, and also has a regular shield, taking less than 1,000 damage will decrease the Life Shield's HP but will not affect the regular shield. Taking 1,001 damage instead will cause the remaining 1 damage to trigger the regular shield, consuming it.
• If a damaging attack that would have dealt an affliction is fully nullified by the Life Shield, the affliction will be nullified as well.
• If a non-damaging attack deals an affliction (for example: Volk's bombs when they are manually defused), the Life Shield will NOT nullify that affliction.
