Adds +3 to AC when used with a 2-handed Ranged weapon. It may not be used with any melee weapon nor with a 1-handed Ranged weapon.
Adds +2 to AC and +3 to Strength (thus, depending on prior Strength score, adding either +1/+2 To Hit in melee and either +1/+2 Damage with melee and thrown weapons)
Adds +4 to AC (always in effect)
If the wielder is a paladin, once per game they may completely negate one Melee attack that was redirected toward themself as a result of guarding another character. The paladin player determines when/if they want to activate this secondary power.
The player may choose to equip this shield in their Melee offhand slot, Ranged offhand slot, or both. This slot choice does not affect a paladin’s ability to negate an attack.
If the wielder of this shield is killed, all remaining party members are healed 7 HP. This shield cannot raise characters from the dead.
Adds +3 to AC and an additional +1 to AC for every other SotP equipped by other party members. The maximum total AC per shield is +7, even if somehow more than five characters equip one of these shields.
Adds +3 to AC and wielder may cast a scroll as a Free Action. The AC bonus is constant, but the scroll effect is only usable once per room.
As an example, when used in conjunction with Widseth’s Mystical Lute, this shield allows a bard to perform bardsong, cast a scroll, and attack with a weapon–all in one round. But remember, the ability to cast a scroll as a Free Action effect is only usable once per room.
