[QUOTE="IceBear, post: 68583, member: 1118"] Well, without going too much into it, The Sage and Sean both said that the shield spell was too powerful for 1st level so they said that it should only provide a cover bonus to AC, not actual cover (and thus it would no longer give the +3 Reflex save bonus or stop AoO). However, after they stated this the PHB errata came out and this change wasn't in there. So, from time to time, there are lively debates about which version of the shield spell (the published one or the one advocated by Sean and The Sage) is the correct one. As for how to determine half the battlefield there were so diagrams by the Sage in a dragon magazine. Many people state that this isn't half the battlefield. The Sage also said to pick three adjacent squares as being the line of protection. Many people say you have to pick 4 to protect from half the battlefield. Anyway, those debates got pretty lively.
