which is why I use things not in the books, to keep a more realistic element of surprise. it would have been a sweet piece of loot for somebody too hopefully they can still get his rifle
you could have just read the description I gave you

The guy on top of the rocks uses a move action to activate a softball-sized sphere he was holding. The sphere splits in 2 and separates about 6m apart, as it hovers about 1m off the ground. The heroes can see a faint energy field form in between the sphere halves. The Sharpshooter then drops prone (free action) behind his shield and takes a shot at Rakhu for killing his Techie companion.
it was only 1m high and just in the 3 hexes in front of him. he was laying prone, just chop right over it. it only protects him from the front, like a semi-circle, not a semi-sphere
Sharn had this guy 100% locked down, 10 str, he wasn't going anywhere... until the botch. but at least his shield is gone for the 2 shooters that are left, so Daxx's action did help in the long run
but it's all just dice, this guy has gotten some crazy good dice lately, though he is the only one of 5 or the 5 droids that has even hit anyone, except for 1 grenade. he has done all the damage
