[QUOTE="Skyscraper, post: 6788433, member: 48518"] I would build a class around it altogether. Give him the shield from the outset. The class is entirely based on that for combat. A few ideas for class design: - Base the class on the fighter class. - replace fighter manoeuvers with shield manoeuvers. - replace feats with more shield manoeuvers. - class is limited to medium armor - shield is magical, a +2 shield (total +4 AC); PC also has advantage REFLEX SAVES against attacks that the PC can see - shield has a thrown/returning property - shield does 1d8 damage thrown or melee - if the PC does not attack with the shield on a turn, he gets an additional +2 to AC and reflex saves until his next turn - As a reaction, PC can use shield to give adjancent creature +4 AC/ADV on REFLEX SAVES as a reaction - as the PC levels up, he can develop additional powers, through feat-equivalent of manoeuver-equivalent powers. E.g. knock target creature prone with shield, ricochet shot that bounces off first target then attacks a second, etc... [/QUOTE]
