Message: <blockquote data-quote="astriemer" data-source="post: 1562505" data-attributes="member: 19771">Mage Armor and ShieldHow would you go about creating Mage Armor that doesn't require armor proficiency without spending a lot of MP to get a magical suit of armor created out of force?Similarly, how would you create a Shield effect? Create Force would let you create a shield out of force, but as I understand, it would require that the mage put it on (and thus probably need proficiency) and wield it. Would Move Force let you use the shield without paying any attention to it (as in the standard Shield spell)? For example,ShieldCreate Force 2/Move Force 1/Gen 1Total MP: 4Range: 0Area: shield of forceDuration: 10 minutesSave: NoneSpell Resistance: No?Description: Creates a tower shield of force that moves to intercept attacks made at the caster providing a +4 shield bonus to AC. The shield is virtually weightless and moves of its own accord to block attacks as long as the caster is aware of the attack. Costs: 2 MP elemental object, 1 MP effective strength, 1 MP duration.Granted that is now a "2nd level" effect. If that works then this should as well right?ShieldCreate Metal 1/Move Force 1/Gen 0Total MP: 2Range: 0Area: tower shieldDuration: 1 minuteSave: NoneSpell Resistance: No?Description: Creates a tower shield that moves to intercept attacks made at the caster providing a +4 shield bonus to AC.
