Shield Familiar – an artificical creature for Dark Heresy

Shield Familiar

These cyber creatures appear sluggish and passive as they cling to their masters or clamber around on them. Much of their energy actually goes into the force field generators replacing most of their innards. Their cortical arrays are specifically conditioned to continually control and manipulate these generators’ output, greatly enhancing the protective devices effectiveness.

Shield Bearer: As long as the shield familiar is in physical contact with another creature, both the familiar and that creature (usually the familiar’s owner) benfit from the protection offered by the familiar’s force field.
