Cryo-Shield is a Metathermics psi ability the player can learn from a Psionic Mentor.

The damage blocked scales with effective Metathermics skill, starting at 5 (0 skill) and increasing by 1 per 4 points of metathermics.

Block chance from different sources does not stack. Each block chance is rolled separately against blockable attacks.
Multiple different blocks can trigger against a single attack, in which case their amount blocked stacks additively.
Sources of block:
- Riot Shield (35-55%) (See also Shield Arm, Shield Bash, Boarding Up)
- Spear Guard (50-100%) (See also Fend, Spear Guardian)
- Parry (25-96%) (See also Riposte)
