Shield

A barrier that absorbs auto-attack, ability and Pressure damage before HP does. Poison, Burn and Bleed go around it. Shields stack. Shield (X): it lasts X seconds, written like a Rush (Shield (8): every ally, 1.5× Attack); a shield with no clock lasts until it breaks or the fight ends. A shield is not a Rush: nothing that counts Rushes or starts them again touches it.
