Zero Company Noble Stance

What it does

A directional deflection shield that you aim, like an Overwatch cone. It consumes all remaining Action Points and adds 10% deflection for each one spent, on top of the 30% base from Padawan Training and 4% per Harmony stack. Shots it deflects are reflected back at the enemy who fired them.

The only ability whose strength scales with AP invested rather than costing a fixed amount, which makes it a genuine end-of-turn decision: leftover points become survivability instead of being wasted. The full stack is large — 30% base, 24% from six Harmony, 30% from three Action Points — reaching roughly 84% against fire from the direction she faces, and reflecting what it stops. That converts the enemy turn into damage, so aim the cone at the largest group rather than the most dangerous one. It is still a probability rather than a wall: a previewer was hit through a well-funded stance. The real cost is the opportunity one, because the Action Points it eats are the same ones a Lightsaber Strike wanted.
