Re: Practical TW force fields
I would say that you would have to use an armor spell to provide a practical forcefield for a moving object, and it would be that spell's strength which would determine the strength of the forcefield... i.e. Armor of Ithan would result in a 10 MDC/level of the TW forcefield. If you want a stationary forcefield (only useful when the tank is acting as an artillery piece), you could use the wall spells, with their attendant costs.

Depending on techno-wizardry and and GM judgement call, you could potentially use other spells than conventional armour spells. Lots of canon TW items play with spells in unusual ways (like the TW flaming sword using fire bolt). Impenetrable Wall of Force, anyone?

I wonder if you could put Invincible Wall of Force as a TW sheild...
Then it'd litterally be indestructable.
