Shield spell and Tower shield diagram ?

[cybergaston]

Hi ! This my first post. I'm a long time reader of the EnWorld site (and Eric Noah's site before that) and I finally decided too participate actively to this message board ! Hourray !

I absolutely love the new rules and I want to know every tidbits of it. So that's the reason I have so many questions about them and what better place to ask (and learn the subtilities) than here !

So ok, here's my first question (drum roll please...hehe):

I remember seeing a diagram that showed how much cover a shield spell and/or a tower shield provided against different ennemies in a combat grid but I can't seem to remember where, do you ? (In a dragon magazine perhaps ? or a class book ? damn memory !)

If someone knows where I could find info about Shield spell and Tower shield cover rules (diagram, errata, web site explanations, well everything would be very cool), It would be very appreciated cause I really need this for my next game. I want my player to learn the joy of cover the hard way .

Thanks a lot in advance for your kind response and don't mind my english please (It's a second language to me...).

How large is the sheild spell exactly? is it like the diagram?

It is a mobile, invisible disk of force. It is about the size of a shield, I guess, because it moves out of the way so your opponent does not get cover against your attacks. The red wall in the diagrams are not the shield itself, but show how much protection you get. Notice that it is better than a tower shield. You are protected by any attack that comes from the other side of the red wall. It protects you from half the battlefield.
