[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 6691812, member: 11146"] [sblock=OOC]The hand did not attack Fulgrim, it attacked Spec. Fulgrim cast shield in Round 2. When he cast it, it activated immediately and protected him against what otherwise would have been a hit by the pincer. The language of the shield entry in the PHB seems fairly clear to me, as does the RAI; shield activates immediately upon being cast and works to protect against the attack that precipitated the casting. The shield remains in effect until the start of the caster's turn on the [B]subsequent [/B]round, so it should protect against attacks made in the intervening time period between casting and Fulgrim's turn on Round 3. That's how I wish to play it. Anything less nerfs the spell in unappealing ways.[/ooc] The piercers were all down below in the watery cavern. No piercer is up top. Ditto for the pincered creature that attacked Fulgrim.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
