so I'm in need of a ruling. Does the divine shield feat( complete warrior page 106) provide it's ac bonus to someone using the ring of force shield( can be found on the srd).
Why/ why not ...any insight would be much appreciated !
While it is wielded like a shield, is a plane of force, not a shield, thus divine shield should not effect it. It would be similar to letting someone using divine shield or magic Vestments on a shield spellI say yes as it functions like a Shield.
Force Shield says: An iron band, this simple ring generates a shield-sized (and shield-shaped) wall of force that stays with the ring and can be wielded by the wearer as if it were a heavy shield (+2 AC). This special creation has no armor check penalty or arcane spell failure chance since it is weightless and encumbrance-free. It can be activated and deactivated at will as a free action.
