Anyone else have any opinions? This isn't entirely hypothetical, so I would like to have some sort of rough idea. Thanks.

I'm currently playing a character whose only weapon is his shield (okay, not only weapon, but he usually fights with just the shield alone, and nothing in his other hand). And I have to say, Shield Charge is a really good ability. It combos well with power attack (+2 dmg for every -1 atk), and...

Assume, for a moment, that you have a Holy Liberator (ala Defenders of the Faith) with 11 total character levels. Assume also, that this Holy Liberator has a large (4 HD) dire badger for his celestial companion, ignoring potential balance problems inherant in this situation. Now, assume your...

...plus the fact that shields would probably affect the chance of being hit, but not the damage reduction...

...so basically, all attacks would be touch attacks, and armor would provide damage reduction? Interesting concept, although you would probably have to redo the whole BAB thing, either lowering the amount, or add a penatrating attack bonus in addition to the BAB. Hmm...

Okay, if I understand your complaint about Divine Might, you're complaining that it's an action to activate, rather than a non-action. Actually, it doesn't *say* in DoTF that it takes a standard action to activate, but that is what I too assumed. However, to quote the official WoTC FAQ, you'll...

Well, I've showed my potential classes to my DM, and he said I could use the 3rd one (the one without the off-hand expert). And actually, the more I think about it, the more I think that that's probably the best version of the class--not as overloaded with feats as the other ones, but still a...

Okay, so I've got the Shield Master boiled down to one of 5 possible incarnations, depending on what people think is the most balanced and whatnot. We all know what the abilities do by now, so I'm just going to list the differences: Table: The Shield Master (Original) Prerequisite BAB: +5...

Actually, how I have it written actually works the way you think it should. To quote Sword & Fist: So as long as the character has already proficiency with shields (like a fighter), they won't have to spend the feat to get into the class, since they already have the virtual feat. If...

Deset Gled, Nah, you're not too late. Nothing's really set in stone yet, and I can still tweak the class if need be. The reason there are so many feats (5 actually--you counted wrong), is twofold. One, I based the class somewhat on similar weapon-oriented premade WoTC classes out of Sword...

Okay, I think I've figured out what I'm going to do. I'm just going to say that the first version (plus the character size clarification in the second) is the "official" version of the class, since most people seem to think it's better and balanced and whatnot, but show my DM both of them and...

Allrighty, then. I was talking with one of the people I game with about this prestige class, and he had a few concerns with it. Basically he felt that the Shield Charge ability was overpowered for the level you get it at, and that the Supreme Shield Mastery was too overpowered, especially with...

Hey, all. I've recently created a new prestige class, and I was wondering if I could get some input (is it too powerful, not powerful enough, that sort of thing). Anyway, thanks in advance: Shield Master Most see the shield as an good defensive tool. Some see it as a decent offensive tool...
