This shield functions as a +1 [[SRD:Bashing|bashing]] [[SRD:Darkwood|darkwood]] [[SRD:Light Shield|light shield]]. A metal center element is built into the shield that contains the impact shield's special power. Once per round as a response to an attack made against you, you may make an opposed attack roll against an enemy's melee attack roll as an [[SRD:Immediate Actions|immediate action]]. If your roll beats that of the attacker, the impact shield can be made to absorb the kinetic energy of that melee attack.

For every point of damage so absorbed, 1 point of damage is stored within the impact shield as kinetic energy (to a maximum of 40). To release the stored damage at any time, you must activate the shield and succeed on a [[SRD:Touch Attack|touch attack]] with a  [[SRD:Shield Bash|shield bash]]. The target creature will then be dealt the stored damage. which bypasses all types of damage reduction.

'''Special:''' Due to its impact absorbing nature, an attempt at [[SRD:Sunder|sundering]] it has a 50 % chance of activating its power.

'''Prereq:''' [[SRD:Craft Magic Arms and Armor|Craft Magic Arms and Armor]], ''blast of force''<sup>[[Spell Compendium|SC]]</sup>. 

'''Cost to Create:''' 12,000gp (plus 320 for a [[SRD:Masterwork Armor|masterwork]] [[SRD:Darkwood|darkwood]] [[SRD:Heavy Shield|heavy wooden shield]]), 960 XP, 24 Days.
