[QUOTE="Dark Dragon, post: 887673, member: 1115"] Hi, two years ago, I developed a new protection spell for my druid, and in two years most of the players of the group I'm in haven't managed to check the spell for game balance...:( As the party is fighting in RttToEE, the spell will discussed during combat, thus breaking the game for an hour or more, I'm quite certain of that (it has been the case for other spells the DM was not aware, although the COMPLETE spell list is at his hands). Anyway, here it is, ready for being checked: [B]Kaichiri's Elemental Shield[/B] Evocation [Fire, Water, Earth, or Air] Level: Drd 5, Clr 4 Components: V, S, M, DF Casting Time: 1 action Range: 0 Target: Personal Duration: 1 round / level (D) Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes The spell creates a shield composed of one of the four elements of the caster's choice. Each version has its own powers, depending on the chosen element. Similar to the arcane [I]Shield[/I], this version covers half the battle field (and thus offers protection towards one direction) and can be positioned on the caster's turn as a free action. [I]Fire:[/I] The caster creates a fiery long shield composed of hot flames. It offers full protection from natural and magical fire like a dragon's breath, a direct hit by a [I]Fireball[/I] and even the touch of a fire elemental or other creatures composed of fire. Any creature attacking the caster in melee combat with weapons without reach takes 1d4+1 points of fire damage, undead creatures and creatures of the cold subtype take double damage. The caster isn't harmed by the shield's heat. [I]Material component: An open flame or powdered sulfur, iron and a small ruby (worth 10 GP)[/I]. [I]Earth:[/I] A large round shield made of basalt and rings of iron is created.
