[Song&Silence] Barricade Buckler

[Thanee]

There's a nice magical buckler in Song&Silence, the barricade buckler.

It's a +1 buckler, which can upon command transform into a tower shield and back into a buckler.

Cost is 4,165 gp.

Do you think, that this property is a +1 equivalent (cost for a +2 buckler is the same), or a flat 3,000 gp?

Also, has this item maybe been reprinted in a 3.5 book somewhere (havn't seen it anywhere else yet)?

Bye

I could see it going either way. At +3000 gold its a nice convience, and not terribly costly. As a +1 enhancement it would end up costing a little more eventually, but I don't really think it merrits the cost. It is a useful enhancement, but I don't think it would come up terribly often.

Make it out of Mithral, and your caster has a quick way to get out of trouble if something approaches and he doesn't want to leave the area - BOOM - tower shield, use for total cover. The reason for the Mithral is to avoid the Arcane Spell Failure.
