[WOTC] Star Wars Shields Addon

8/13/2025 – Updated Icons to be brighter, and hopefully fix abilities for each shield

Adds an Imperial, CIS, and Mandalorian variant shield for your soldiers alongside Lord_Poncho’s Clone Blast Shield.

Vanilla classes CANNOT equip these shields.

Each Shield has different stats based on in-universe lore, vibes, and overall balancing.

"The standard shield used by the Empire’s finest. Built strong and durable to endure heavy blaster fire."

These shields grant 8/12/16 shield points in exchange for aim and mobility penalties.

The Hunker Down ability grants its wearer a +20 dodge bonus.

Additionally, melee attacks made with this shield can impose disorientation against enemies.

"A shield used by the fearsome BX Droids of the CIS. Capable of providing cover while allowing its user to still fire."

These shields grant 6/10/14 shield points. In exchange, this shield cannot crit.

The Hunker Down ability grants no additional bonuses besides Full Cover.

Additionally, melee attacks made with this shield can impose BOTH disorientation and stun against enemies.

"A personal combat shield used by Mandalorians to protect themselves in close quarters combat."

These shields grant 4/8/12 shield points in exchange for a mobility and defense bonus.

Due to their small size, this shield has no Hunker Down Ability.

Additionally, melee attacks made with this shield can impose disorientation against enemies.

Tier 1 shields are unlocked by default, with Tier 2 and Tier 3 unlocked by Medium and Heavy armor respectively.
