All biotics start with the Biotic Barrier ability, granting the biotic six shield points, and the ability to regain up to six shield points in the field, at a rate of one point per turn.

Ability will stack with other items or abilities that grant shield points, like ablative plating or an Asari's innate biotic barrier.

Biotic regeneration gets bonuses from the biotic's psi stat: 75 points = 1 additional point of barrier.

They also start with Biotic Strength ability that gives a small bonus to the damage of their biotic attacks that scales with their psi offence stat.
