Curious if other players have found Missile Shield worth it? The benefit seems great. But here's why I'm second guessing it.
From a logical standpoint would an enemy archer shoot at the full-plate armored guy with a shield? Or would he go after the lightly armored guys without a shield? I'd think the latter. Of course every GM will look at it differently. But if a GM is looking to keep things competitive, I could see him easily bypass ranged attacks on the high AC Shielded Fighter with Missile Shield.
I'm also second guessing because you have to take Shield Focus. SF is probably a good feat for a Shielded Fighter to take. But I'm not planning on going the Shield Specialization route. I was looking to be more balanced and take some offensive feats instead.
Nothing's decided. Looking for feedback before I do. Thanks!
Also, it can be fun to move out, draw enemy readied action archery, and then have the lightly armored casters walk out.
Or have yourself disguised by an illusion to look like a bearded guy in a robe...
Good ideas! Really didn't want to spend the feats needed to get Ray Shield. But it does seem like an amazing feat!
Will have to give it some thought, as I was thinking about balancing for the lack of offense by taking several offense feats.
You get a lot of feats and using the shield offensively with a lot of the feats can be a very effective form of TWF .
