[QUOTE="ValhallaGH, post: 4379484, member: 41187"] I really like this idea. This is gold. "Flying Shield of Justice," heheh. That said, find out how the player wants to play his character. Does he want to anchor the battlefield, lead the combat, simply kill stuff, or create point-and-laugh situations. This will tell you which roles to muck around with. For attacks, let him have "Heavy Leather Glove". It does 1d6 with a +3 proficiency (short sword stats). It's his glove, so no one else gets to use one. Shield Bash - Let him use it as an off-hand weapon. Either with a feat, or just because you're an accommodating guy. He'll be startled the first time he tries to TWF and can't but that's no big deal. Shield Throw - Remember how Cap uses his shield? That ain't a basic attack. Those are some pretty potent ranged attacks; most of them are wizard-style controller effects (area attacks, slow, stun, and marking). Depending upon how Cap-like he wants to be, he may actually want to play a Wizard with funny flavor text. Cleric also works well, either a melee cleric or a "laser" cleric. Things to think about.
