A defensive item that is in many ways the predecessor to the personal shield, the projectile deflector equipment generates a field of gravity-altering energy around its user. Often worn as a belt or other piece of jewelry, the device actually bends the path of incoming high-speed projectiles, making the target harder to hit. The projectile deflector grants a +4 deflection bonus to Defense against ranged attacks. Melee attacks are unaffected by this device.
