[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 19034, member: 1656"] We're discussing [i]Shield Other[/i] in another thread, so I noticed when in [i]yet[/i] another thread, someone misunderstood [i]Shield Other[/i] to be a spell you cast on someone to redirect half of your damage to them, rather than the other way around. Now, the foci of the spell are two platinum rings, one worn by the caster and one by the recipient, worth at least 50gp each. I happened to notice that a [i]Ring of Spell Turning[/i] is a "simple platinum band", and is worth a little over 50gp. (149,950gp over, to be exact.) It occured to me that it would be rather fun to cast [i]Shield Other[/i] at someone wearing such a ring - if it took effect, you could just dismiss it, but if it were turned... ah, if it were turned, then half of all damage dealt to you is dealt to the person wearing the ring. At this point, you just let your fighter buddy start sticking you with a shortspear, and heal yourself up every time your hit points start to get too low - life-size voodoo doll! That'll teach him to wear that spoilsport ring! :) -Hyp. [/QUOTE]
