Line 3: See also [[Bandit Mook]] and [[Mooks Ate My Equipment]] for things that can treat ordinary armor as One Hit Point Wonders, unlike the rest of the game. {{examples}}▼ ▲{{examples}} == [[Video Games]] == * ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'': Sonic collects rings. If he's hit, he loses his rings instead of dying. The shields found throughout the series also qualify. * In the first [[Sonic the Hedgehog (video game)\|two]] [[Sonic the Hedgehog 2\|games]], they did nothing more than take one hit for you. * In ''[[Sonic 3 and Knuckles\|Sonic 3 & Knuckles]]'' and the [[~~PlayStation~~Play Station 3]], [[Xbox 360]] and PC version of ''[[Sonic Generations]]'', flame, bubble and lightning shields are available. While they are active, they protect the player from flames, let the player breathe underwater and attract rings, respectively. All three will (at least in ''S3&K'') reflect projectiles without taking damage, but they still disappear after one hit from anything else. * The 3D games, the ''[[Sonic Advance Trilogy]]'' series, and its [[Sonic Rush Series\|handheld]] [[Sonic Generations\|successors]], have two shields available. They both act the same as in the first two games, but one will attract rings. * The fan-made ''[[Sonic Robo Blast 2]]'' has no less than ''five'' such shields ~~available -- the~~available—the blue Force Shield, which can take two hits; the white Whirlwind Shield, which gives your character a double jump; the green Elemental Shield, which makes you fully immune to environmental hazards; the red Armageddon Shield, which can be detonated to damage everything nearby; and the yellow Attraction Shield, which draws in rings, but shorts out in water. * In ''[[Ghosts 'n Goblins ~~(series)~~\|Ghosts N Goblins]]'' and its sequels, the player character's armor disappears after one hit, but they do have the benefit of starting each life with armor equipped. ''Super Ghouls And Ghosts'' also offers a shield powerup which can block one projectile attack only. * In the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' series, just about any time Mario takes a hit he loses his current powerup ([[Powerup Mount\|Yoshi]], Mushroom, Fire Flower, etc.). * In ''[[League of Legends]]'', Sivir has the "Spell Shield" ability, which blocks a single enemy spell. Line 26: * The ''[[Mega Man (video game)\|Mega Man]]'' series has the Spike Barrier/Shock Step/whatever it's called, which protects you once from the instant-death spikes. But you have to jump to safety before the [[Mercy Invincibility]] wears off, or.... * The Shield orcs in ''[[Orcs Must Die]]'' have a shield which they drop after a single hit. * In ''[[The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion]]'', the Boots of Springheel Jak will prevent you from dying at the end one very, very long fall but are destroyed upon landing. Various exploits exist to survive said fall and still keep the Boots. == [[Tabletop RPG]] == * ''[[Dungeons ~~and~~& Dragons]]'': Stoneskin in older editions of ''Dungeons & Dragons''. Module C1 ''The Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan''. A fighter can receive a scroll that gives him a Death Servant. At any time thereafter, if the fighter is about to be killed, the Death Servant will push the fighter to safety and accept the attack that would have killed the fighter. It will only do this once. Line 37: == Non-[[Game Examples]] == * In ''[[Captain America: The First Avenger]]'', the eponymous hero starts off using a triangular shield he picked up during his stage show (a [[Mythology Gag]] to the characters' roots). The shield is used precisely once as a guard against the Red Skull's fist. The Red Skull caves it in and it is quickly discarded. * [[Action Girl\|Bastille]] from the ''[[Alcatraz Series]]'' wears a jacket made from spun fibers of Defender's Glass. It can take one blow that by rights should kill her, but then it's ruined and she has to get another.
