[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 7634454, member: 996"] I know 5e didn't emphasize foci much, but a Weapon & Wand or Sword & Athame* style for the proto-EK might be cool. You give up the shield, but gain a magical perk of some kind. Like most rounds you minor-action cast a lesser shield cantrip that's only about as good as a shield (it might be cute if it gave a better AC bonus vs cantrips, or negated one magic missile/rnd or reduced mm damage from d4+1 to d4 or something fairly trivial), or some rounds another cantrip, sacrificing the shield bonus. * for those of you who don't know, I should mention that an Athame or black-handled knife is a dagger or the like used in rituals. For those who /do/ know, I'm sorry for even implying that a practitioner might so much as risk getting someone else's blood on one. [/QUOTE]
