As I said in a previous post, I have extensive experience running the game at high levels (10-15, with 3-4 full casters, no less), and shield becomes very powerful when combined with good dex + AC-boosting items or abilities. It's not game-breaking, but it is noticeable, especially in situations where you can't apply continuous resource pressure (which, at that level, is most of them). If I go with mostly AC-targeting enemies, the PCs waltz through unharmed. If I go with mostly attribute-targeting enemies, the martial players might feel like their armour is pointless. Grappling attacks work, but you can't make every fight a wrestling match.I think limiting shield's effect to a single attack, rather than all attacks in a round, would stop it from scaling so well at higher levels.</blockquote>
