I've suggested this in several other places, but I'm putting it here so it can be properly referenced.
An advantage to apply a stack of reckless to the target of your protection field would be a very helpful and reasonably balanced way to make the shield helpful in other circumstances. It could be a 1 or 2 pt advantage to apply or refresh reckless on the target. If that's too much, it could just apply, not refresh, or it could force a cooldown on the power or something.
Alternatively you could just find a way to apply bastion while the shield is up. That would work too.

I think this would be a nice way to make Protection Field (and possibly Mindful Reinforcement) more supportively useful as shielding powers.
