A refractor field generator is a small device which projects a protective energy field around the user. Its effect is to disperse the energy of an incoming shot or blow over the total area of the field.[1] These devices are small enough to be concealed within jewellery.[4]

Overview
The field, although less reliable than that of a rosarius, can stop even lascannon and plasma hits. A noted effect is the complete inability to maintain stealth, as there is a bright flash when the device is triggered.[3] The glow of an active refractor field is also more noticable in low-light conditions.[4]
Refractor fields are uncommon, and within the Imperial Guard. They tend to only be used by officers and enginseers.[5] The White Scars are also known to use them, with the Souldrinkers (a unique close-combat unit) being equipped with them.[6]
A much rarer variation of this technology is the Reductor Field, which, rather than trying to stop projectiles, tries to cushion their impact to a point where they are of no danger to the wearer. Commissar Yarrick is known to wear one.[7]
