[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 7916269, member: 7006"] I do have to say... I absolutely love the visual idea that the [I]barkskin[/I] spell on the druid fades on and off as they move out from and back into cover while dropping and picking up the shield. The naked druid stands out in the open with their skin the color and texture of tree bark and has an AC of 16. Then they walk 20 feet to the left while picking up a shield and going behind a tower wall... and their skin immediately turns less barky as the spell shuts itself off because the AC points are now gained from the shield and cover instead (for now a total of AC 17). Then the druid decides to walk back out from behind the tower wall and loses the 5 points of cover AC... while the [I]barkskin[/I] comes back online immediately to regain 4 points of AC and get back up to AC 16. Then finally the druid drops the shield and loses 2 points while the [I]barkskin[/I] repowers itself to full to give the druid the two points of AC back. So the entire time the druid's skin goes barky then soft then barky then soft, back and forth back and forth as they jump to and fro behind a wall while picking up and dropping the shield. D&D everybody! Heh heh! [/QUOTE]
