Ray Shield Feat + Ring of Force Shield + Non-Damage rays


Advice


1 person marked this as a favorite.

I've got an idea for a Bard getting Missile/Ray Shield and using a Ring of Force Shield. However I don't know how much damage the Ring would take from Ray Shield.

Ring of Force Shield, CL9, 8500g Market Price: Creates a Force-based Heavy Shield, like Wall of Force.
Wall of Force, Hardness 30, HP = 20 x CL (180?)

How would you guys allow this to work? Does it regenerate it's HP after a day? How does Ray Shield work against spells like Ray of Enfeeblement?


I would allow it and you can deflect one touch attack per round.

The force shield dont have hitpoints like mundane (magic) shields. It will work normally like in the feat description but without a disadvantage (=damaging your shield).

With it saying 'like wall of force' i would use that spell descriptor to assign it hardness and hit points. That said, i'd also allow it's use. It nowhere says it only applies against rays that deal hit point damage.


I'd say the force shield has the wall of force HP/Hardness each time it appears. This effectively makes it almost impossible to destroy (since each turn the wearer can turn it off and on again as free actions).


Kinda reminds me of Captain America's photonic energy shield that he'd use from time to time when his typical vibranium shield was unavailable. The feat requirements really make Ray Shield prohibitive for most character builds, how were you able to achieve it with a bard since one of the prerequisties is Spellbreaker, which requires 10 levels in Fighter?

Probably going for Arcane Duelist who gains Spellbreaker as a bonus feat at 10th level.


Disruptive, Spellbreaker, Penetrating Strike AND Greater Penetrating Strike as bonus feats for the Arcane Duelist. I call hax! xD
