Reddevil's page

Ok so my DM believes that the shield spell only gives you a shield bonus against targets in front of you. Here is why:

Shield creates an invisible, tower shield-sized mobile <b>disk of force that hovers in front of you.</b> It negates magic missile attacks directed at you. The disk also provides a +4 shield bonus to AC. This bonus applies against incorporeal touch attacks, since it is a force effect. The shield has no armor check penalty or arcane spell failure chance. Unlike with a normal tower shield, you can’t use the shield spell for cover.

So does anyone else disagree with his conclusion and agree that is there for visual effect only?

can a sorcerer cast a touch spell and deliver it through an unarmed attack in the same round instead of a normal touch? And if so can you also tell me what page in the book would indicate it.

Hey I got an email saying that The pathfinder book was all sold out. Does that mean that if I preorder now that I have to wait till November to get a copy or are there still plenty left.

first I'd like to say I just downloaded the beta test and have shown it to some of my players and are exited to test it. But I have a question about the Channel negative energy. If an evil cleric uses this is he unaffected by it or is he also harmed by his own ability. Also One of my player wants to know why you have both Great cleave and whirlwind. I figure its cause whirlwind is slightly better and takes more to get to, but they do almost seem redundant.
Thanks for your time.
