Protect Aura

Just a thought while sparring Master Corinth...
I think it'd be "better" if the green aura that shows up when protected behaved the same as the absorb aura, in that it only shows up when you encounter damage, rather than have it constantly surrounding the player.

Solid idea. I agree.

Considering it is just a game mechanic to show a "visual" for the player, which the character is not supposed to see, I agree.

I really like this idea. I always thought the constant green shield was a little annoying.

How about a slightly translucent colourless shader (like the push bubble) when something comes into contact with it.
There's no real Canonical example of a protection aura in any of the books/films so if we're revising it we can make it either a more aesthetically pleasing (and less distracting) game mechanic, or a well polished 'this is what the opponent sees' style effect.
Thoughts?

What about a fading away effect? When you use the power it emits a light silver glow and then softly fades away.

Just wanted an addition with effects, instead of making a new thread.
When it comes to Force sense, could it be implemented to somehow show the targets Shields when the power Sense is turned on?

How would a Jedi be able to sense shield battery levels through the Force?

That's a really bad idea...
