This question relates to a character that has gone through several iterations, from a death priest to a clini-clown to a performer. This is that final character.
The concept is this; the character is a traveling performer who uses hand puppets to entertain children and impart knowledge from one village to the next. His stage, his puppet theatre is also his shield. It's large, it provides total cover under the right circumstances.
What I would like to know is; is spell combat compatible with Total Cover shield action? Is it possible to cast a spell and then duck back behind total cover? For the moment leaving the question of arcane spell failure. Is creating total cover part of that repertoire?
If not, what other ways are there to gain full cover from the tower shield (preferably without eating at my action economy)?
