Skirnir Question


Rules Questions


I had a question about the Skirnir's arcane bond ability. I understand that I can't have the item made out of special materials, but can I choose a quickdraw or throwing shield?


-Bump-

Still kinda wondering about this one. Want to make sure I have stuff right for Gencon. And should probably say this is for PFS.

Since it doesn't specify a type of shield[like Light, Heavy, Klar, etc], it would seem to work.

Weapons acquired at 1st level are not made of any special material.
Quote:
If the object of an arcane bond is lost or destroyed, it can be replaced after 1 week in a special ritual that costs 200 gp per wizard level plus the cost of the masterwork item.

After 1st level you can have one made out of special materials.


Paladin, thank you. I'm curious when you say that is doesn't specify a type of shield, do you mean the Skirnir's arcane bond ability?

Splendor, thank you but that really doesn't answer any of my question.

Yep.

At 1st level, a skirnir gains a shield (except for a tower shield) as an arcane bond item. This is identical to the wizard class ability, but the skirnir may only bond with a shield, not a familiar or other item.

It tells you its with a [non-tower] shield, but doesn't specify beyond that. So Quickdraw and Throwing seem fine.


Klar sounds like an interesting idea, and I haven't thought of that. Something to ponder on I guess.

Also works with Bladebound, for extra fun.


Okay that great. I had thought about a Klar, but didn't seem to fit with my Ulfin Skirnir.
