[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 581207, member: 1656"] Are you suggesting the troll is the Shieldor, or the Shieldee? I can see have a Shielded troll being nasty - subdual damage would not be transferred, but anything that dealt real damage - fire, acid - would be split with the caster. If the troll is the one doing the Shielding, though, I can see two interpretations. One - "the subject's wounds are transferred to you". Since the troll regenerates normal wounds, the transferred damage affects the troll as subdual damage, and he can regenerate. Two - "The amount of damage not taken by the subject is taken by you". Since the subject is 'not taking', for example, 10 points of hit point damage, the troll receives 10 points of hit point damage, which he can't regenerate. As a DM, I think I'd lean towards Two... but I could imagine arguments either way... -Hyp. [/QUOTE]
