Talk:Perfect Shield (TOToM Spell)

I'm not quite sure what it is this spell does, so I'll put what I think should be changed (for readability) here.

"This gives a +2 shield bonus to AC."

The spell stacks with the sheild bonus already, right? If so, it should state something like the following.

-> "This spell increase your shield bonus to AC by +2."

"Such a shield cannot be passed on to anyone else, and if it affects an already-existing shield, giving that shield to anyone else causes it to lose these properties."

Since the spell is non-tranferrable, is this not a bit verbose. It could be made shorter by stating as follows.

-> "This shield is a part of you. If you pick up a shield, this spell modifies that shield.  If you drop a shield, this spell stops applying to it."

"(law opposes chaos, good opposes evil) - neutral alignment components have no opposed component."

Either have all of it in parenthesis, or none. Or remove it from the spell, since it is defining non-specific information in a specific spell.

 * To clarify what this does:


 * The idea is that the spell gives you a shield made of force if you don't already have one. That's the whole +2 shield bonus to AC thing.


 * The opposed components are part of the spell - you gain an additional AC and save bonus only against attacks and abilities made by creatures with alignment components opposing your own. Hence why the text needed to be there.


 * Hopefully that makes it a bit more clear. - MisterSinister 22:10, 13 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Okay...well, describing what an opposed alignment is redundant in the spell. This is a wiki, where we have the ability to link to information like that.  Opposed alignment is described somewhere, right?  --Havvy 03:08, 14 November 2010 (UTC)


 * If it is, I'm not sure where. - MisterSinister 20:54, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
