This ''+1 [[Greatshield (3.5e Equipment)|greatshield]]'' is unusually lightweight, and appears to be made from a still living angel wing.  The shield covers up much of the arm, making it appear as if the user's arm was a wing.  The feathers are strong as steel, and provides ample protection as well as changing the shield bash into a slashing attack with a 18-20/x2 critical (it still has a -2 to attack as a greatshield).  Attacks with an angel wing shield count as good aligned.  Evil creatures which use an angel wing shield take 1 temporary negative level as long as they wield it, as if it were a [[SRD:Holy|Holy]] enhanced weapon.

Because of the wing shape, those wielding the angel wing shield can spiral down to the ground in a corkscrew pattern.  They are always under the effect of ''[[SRD:Feather Fall|feather fall]]''.  As a move action and a DC 5 [[Dex]] check they can actively glide, crossing 20 ft for every 5 ft they descend.

If the creature wields two angel wing shields, their AC bonuses do not stack as normal but they do gain a +1 dodge bonus.  They are able to take total cover behind both shields as if using a tower shield.  In addition, they count as light weapons for the purpose of [[SRD:Two-Weapon Fighting|Two-Weapon Fighting]], but only with another angel wing shield.  Those with two shields can fly twice their base land speed (average maneuverability), but may only fly up to their [[Constitution]] modifier in consecutive rounds (minimum 1) before needing to rest for 5 rounds.  They can attempt to fly more rounds than that, must they must make a [[Fortitude]] save (DC 10 + 1 each round beyond in that day) or become fatigued.  A fatigued user cannot fly.  It is common for fliers to fly up, then glide for 5 rounds to rest.  Those with a pre-existing fly speed gain a +10 to their fly speed instead.

Prerequisites: [[SRD:Craft Magic Arms and Armor|Craft Magic Arms and Armor]]; ''[[SRD:Bless|bless]]'', ''[[SRD:Fly|fly]]''.
Cost to Create: 2500 gp, 200 EXP, 5 days.
