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)
