I thought 45 was a bit heavy for a shield (try holding a 45lb weight on your arm like a shield for any amount of time), but I agree 68 lbs is right out. I just thought of this and wanted to put it up as food for thought:Ī heavy wooden shield is 10 lbs, a heavy steel shield is 15 lbs.īy that proportion, a steel tower shield would be 68 lbs. Beauty of it is that the tower shield doesn't give the enemy cover (unless your dm is willing to say that the tower shield gives everyone behind it cover). Consider using them as a sled, or grab a ring that grants teamwork powers, toss it to a familiar with a tower shield and have the Shield Wall teamwork feat. If a spell or effect creates multiple rays or attacks, the force tower deflects only one of them per round.īut there are some uses for them. The Reflex save DC to deflect such attacks is equal to 20 + the level of the spell (or 1/2 the class level or Hit Dice of the creature that created the effect, if a supernatural effect). Infused with magical force, a force tower renders its wielder immune to magic missiles and also allows its wielder to use its arrow deflection special ability to deflect magical rays and ranged touch attacks. This +1 arrow deflection ghost-touch mithral tower shield glows with a perpetual bluish radiance. Price 46,030 gp Aura moderate evocation CL 7th Weight 22 lbs. In case you wanted something that also helps deal with that special magical girl (or guy- not judgin') sure that you can do all this with the tentacle discovery too. Someone taking a 2 level dip into alchemist can do this too, but I just like that this fighter archetype had both the discovery and the tower shield proficiency in one package. A bit of a damper due to the -2 to attack, but few claim that fighters are in lack fo attack bonus, and mutagenic warriors get even more since they have mutagens. ![]() So you get +4 AC, and another item slot for AC enhancements. And since the arm can't be used for extra attacks anyway, you are not paying much of an opportunity cost when you use it for a non-bashable shield. They have the option to grab the vestigial arm discovery, which gives them an extra hand to use a shield while run around 2 handing a greatsword. They trade out armor training, so the max dex is not that much of an issue. ![]() I know the perfect character to use tower shields- mutagenic warrior archetype fighters.
