[QUOTE="EOL, post: 119644, member: 823"] From the SRD: The question is this, are there situations where the shield is facing in the right direction, but because the caster is acting the shield does not protect him from an attack. There are a couple of potential situations I'm thinking of (though I'm sure there are others): 1- Someone readies an action to attack the wizard when he casts a spell. Wizard starts casting, shield moves, Readied attack goes off against AC without shield. I can see arguments both ways 2- The Wizard Bullrushes. (I don't know why a wizard would Bullrush but work with me here) does the invisibile disk of force remain in front of him the whole time? It would seem to me that it would have to move out of the way in order for the bullrush to be successful. I've been playing it such that shield always counts as long as it's facing the right direction regardless of what the wizard and his opponent are doing, but I got to thinking about it today and started wondering about this question.
