Message: <blockquote data-quote="Connorsrpg" data-source="post: 3936711" data-attributes="member: 19265">Increased usefulness of shields was the one thing I sent in where I would like to see an improvement.Sorry, have mentioned this in sev places, but how many pictures are there where the fighter/knight raises his shield to protect himself from the dragon's fiery breath? And in each of those the shield diverts the flame. Heck, it is even in a few DnD pictures (inc a full page spread from Complete Divine if my memory serve me correctly).  And yet there is NOTHING in the rules to explain this. Having a shield vs a dragon's breath weapon is useless???I sure hope all the abilites mentioned above are possible. I hope it was an ability just like this that protected the fighter from the rock spray.I would also prefer to see the Block and Deflect talents from SWSE. Shields need to be more useful than a +1 AC (boring).  I hardy ever have a player use a shield. Don't blame them either.C</blockquote>
