[QUOTE="dalisprime, post: 8330305, member: 6800183"] Three equal dexterity archers using a short bow ready an action to shoot the wizard when he enters the room they're in. All three are equidistant from the entry point. Does the wizard make three con saves or one? Going back to the Shield spell and how it's too powerful. Let's look back at its 3e predecessor: provides 3/4 cover (+7 to AC and reflex saving throws) from one direction, immunity to magic missile, lasts 1 minute/caster level. Even further back: it improved your AC by 8 against thrown weapons, 7 against missiles and 6 against everything else on top of immunity to magic missile and granting a +1 bonus to saving throws. Lasted 5 rounds per level. 5e shield on the other hand: provides 3/4 cover equivalent bonus to AC from all directions, immunity to magic missile, lasts until the end of your next turn. Long story short, it has already been toned down quite a lot from its predecessors. [/QUOTE]
