Glamering


Rules Questions


Can one Glamer a shield? Must one always Glamer it separately from one's armor?

Would you have to enchant the shield as a weapon though?
Of the two listings for "Glamoured" the armor one looks like the enchantment only effects a suit of armor, and makes the armor look like clothing. The weapon version makes the weapon appear as an abject of a similar size, and turns off for a round when used to attack.

Upon command, a suit of glamered armor changes shape and appearance to assume the form of a normal set of clothing. The armor retains all its properties (including weight) when it is so disguised. Only a true seeing spell or similar magic reveals the true nature of the armor when it is disguised.

Price +4,000 gp

A glamered weapon can be commanded to change its shape and appearance to assume the form of another object of similar size. The weapon retains all its properties (including weight) when so disguised but does not radiate magic. Only true seeing or similar magic reveals the true nature of a glamered weapon while it is disguised. After a glamered weapon is used to attack, this special ability is suppressed for 1 minute.

No. Unless specifically called out, armor enchantments can also be applied to shields (thus, glamering a shield costs 2,700 gp, not 4,000 gp). If your shield has shield spikes, then you might need to talk to your GM about pricing, if detect magic works, and what happens when you make a shield bash attack.

A shield probably wouldn't look like clothing, but perhaps some other item worn or carried over the arm (a cloak or a cape, for instance.)
