[QUOTE="Gromm, post: 200819, member: 2245"] Speaking of instant death annihilation, what is up with the Absorbing Shield? My DM rolled one up in our last campaign and then he looked it up and about died. You can shield bash someone or block an attack by a weapon, or whatever and its just like touching a Sphere of Annihilation. In other words you die no save, and you'd best be on a first name basis with a god if you plan on ever coming back. Sure it costs 50k gp, but thats a small price to every other day be able to make a touch attack that instantly kills anything with no defense. I'm surprised more people don't use this as a smackdown. Take a fighter with shield against anything. Fighter uses Absorbing Shield and touches target. Target dies no save, can't be raised. The end.
