⟜ Requires Battle Precognition
Tweaked from 5eYou already know this as 5e Shield (likely) — Like Shield, this is your go-to defensive Force power for bumping AC, but instead of a one-round reaction it's a sustained +2 (melee)/+3 (ranged) bonus that only works while you're unarmored and shieldless and does nothing against droids or psychic-immune foes. ✨
While unarmored and shieldless, gain +2 AC vs. melee and +3 AC vs. ranged attacks by reading opponents' Force-detectable intent.

Through the Force, you gain a limited form of telepathy that enables you to anticipate the moves of your opponents in combat. While you aren't wearing armor or wielding a shield, you gain a +2 AC bonus against melee attacks and a +3 AC bonus against ranged attacks.
This AC bonus is not applied against attacks from droids, constructs, or creatures with resistance or immunity to psychic damage.
