Prismatic Shield

Carnifex's picture
A Prismatic Shield is crafted out of crystal, and its many facets reflect a shimmering array of colours back at anyone observing it. The real power in these shields, however, is in their ability to store up energy as light within the crystal, and then release it as a powerful blast when the shield has reached its capacity.By: Christopher AllenImported from a previous version of Planewalker.com

Special: A Prismatic Shield is a +3 large steel shield. It absorbs the first 10 points of fire or electricity damage each round, and when the total number absorbed equals 50 points of damage the shield will not soak up any more energy damage. The shield will then begin to actively emit multi-coloured light, and this lasts until the energy within the shield is released. On command, a fully charged Prismatic Shield can release the energy held within as a Prismatic Spray spell (DC 20), and can now absorb up to another 50 points of energy damage again. If a fully charged shield's power is not used as a Prismatic Spray spell within one hour, the energy naturally dissipates again. magica
