The Kanohi Hau is the Mask of Shielding. A Hau Nuva is created when a destined Hau is exposed to Energized Protodermis.
The Kanohi Hau creates a shield of energy around the wearer, protecting them from physical harm - however, not from ambush.
The Great Kanohi Hau generates a force field around the user, protecting them from physical harm - physical objects or substances, energy, and toxic gas. However, it does not protect against psionic attacks, ethereal attacks such as gravity manipulation, or manipulation of the environment within the shield, and breathable air is able to pass through. The shield is weightless and does not impede the user's movement. The shield is only big enough to protect the user, and cannot protect other beings - the shield will push other beings away if activated. The shield must be consciously activated, and it only protects against attacks the user anticipates, much as if it were an actual shield. The shield can be broken with sufficiently powerful attacks.
The force field of the Great mask is stronger than that of the Noble Hau. Additionally, it is able to be maintained for an increased duration.
The Noble Kanohi Hau generates a force field around the user, protecting them from physical harm - physical objects or substances, energy, and toxic gas. However, it does not protect against psionic attacks, ethereal attacks such as gravity manipulation, or manipulation of the environment within the shield, and breathable air is able to pass through. The shield is weightless and does not impede the user's movement. The shield is only big enough to protect the user, and cannot protect other beings - the shield will push other beings away if activated. The shield must be consciously activated, and it only protects against attacks the user anticipates, much as if it were an actual shield. The shield can be broken with sufficiently powerful attacks.
The Great Kanohi Hau Nuva generates a force field around the user, protecting them from physical harm - physical objects or substances, energy, and toxic gas. However, it does not protect against psionic attacks, ethereal attacks such as gravity manipulation, or manipulation of the environment within the shield, and breathable air is able to pass through. The shield is weightless and does not impede the user's movement. The shield is only big enough to protect the user, and cannot protect other beings - the shield will push other beings away if activated. The shield must be consciously activated, and it only protects against attacks the user anticipates, much as if it were an actual shield. The shield can be broken with sufficiently powerful attacks.
The force field of the Great Nuva mask is stronger than that of the Great Hau. Additionally, it is able to be maintained for an increased duration compared to the Noble Hau. When the power is sympathed onto other beings, the shields are able to combine into one larger shield.
The Noble Kanohi Hau Nuva generates a force field around the user, protecting them from physical harm - physical objects or substances, energy, and toxic gas. However, it does not protect against psionic attacks, ethereal attacks such as gravity manipulation, or manipulation of the environment within the shield, and breathable air is able to pass through. The shield is weightless and does not impede the user's movement. The shield is only big enough to protect the user, and cannot protect other beings - the shield will push other beings away if activated. The shield must be consciously activated, and it only protects against attacks the user anticipates, much as if it were an actual shield. The shield can be broken with sufficiently powerful attacks.
The force field of the Noble Nuva mask is stronger than that of the Noble Hau, though its strength is not quite at the level of the Great Hau. When the power is sympathed onto other beings, the shields are able to combine into one larger shield.
Shield disks generate a force field around a target, protecting them for the duration of the effect.
Higher level disks create stronger shields.
- The Kualsi, Mask of Quick Travel, is not capable of penetrating the force field of the Hau.
In the Doronai Nui
This is reflective of the rules as presented in Version 0.9.1.2
Always Active: No
AP Cost: 1
In-Combat Charge Duration: 1 KC = 10 Rounds (FO)
As a 1AP action, the wearer may spend 1 or more Kanohi Charges to create the above-described shield around themself. The shield lasts for 10 rounds, though can be lowered early as a 0AP action.
Whenever the shield suffers damage, the wearer must make a Focus check with a DC equal to the damage dealt. They add 10+X to their roll, and have ADVX on this check, where X is the number of Kanohi Charges spent. If they fail their Focus check, they are unable to maintain the shield, it immediately lowers, and any damage in excess of the Focus result is suffered by the wearer; if they succeed, they suffer no damage or effects from the attack.
Always Active: No
AP Cost: 1
In-Combat Charge Duration: 1 KC = 10 Rounds (FO)
As a 1AP action, the wearer may spend 1 or more Kanohi Charges to create the above-described shield around themself. The shield lasts for 10 rounds, though can be lowered early as a 0AP action.
Whenever the shield suffers damage, the wearer must make a Focus check with a DC equal to the damage dealt. They add 5+X to their roll, and have ADVX on this check, where X is half the number of Kanohi Charges spent (rounded up). If they fail their Focus check, they are unable to maintain the shield, it immediately lowers, and any damage in excess of the Focus result is suffered by the wearer; if they succeed, they suffer no damage or effects from the attack.
Always Active: No
AP Cost: 1
In-Combat Charge Duration: 1 KC = 10 Rounds (FO)
As a 1AP action, the wearer may spend 1 or more Kanohi Charges to create the above-described shield around themself and any beings they choose to share the Kanohi Activation with, per the Nuva Kanohi rules. The shield lasts for 10 rounds, though can be lowered early as a 0AP action.
Whenever the shield suffers damage, the wearer must make a Focus check with a DC equal to the damage dealt. They add 10+X to their roll, and have ADVX on this check, where X is equal to twice the number of Kanohi Charges spent. If they fail their Focus check, they are unable to maintain the shield, it immediately lowers, and any damage in excess of the Focus result is suffered by the wearer; if they succeed, they suffer no damage or effects from the attack.

Usage
The Kanohi Hau is closely associated with Ta-Matoran due to it being the mask worn by Toa Tahu in legends. It is also a symbol of the Great Spirit Mata Nui.
Models
Three official Hau models were made by LEGO: two versions of the standard Great, as well as the Vanguard Great. Two official Hau Nuva models were made by LEGO: the standard Great Nuva and swamp-adapted Great Nuva.
RSG has several unofficial Hau models: the standard Noble (designed by Perp3tual and crafted by HahliNuva), variant Noble (designed by Oomatu and crafted by HahliNuva), Vanguard Noble (designed by Perp3tual and crafted by HahliNuva), and Hordika (designed by Oomatu and crafted by Petrus).
