Warforged's Shield (3.5e Equipment)

Warforged's Shield

This masterwork heavy steel shield is specifically crafted to clip onto a Warforged's arm (or a Greater Prosthetic Limb) while leaving the hand free for other tasks. Any attempt to use a weapon in your shield hand, while possible with this shield, is at a -2 penalty to attack rolls that stacks with all other penalties (this penalty drops to -1 if the shield is made instead from mithral). You also take a -2 penalty of skill checks that specifically require the use of that arm (Climb, Swim, etc.) in addition to the shield's normal armor check penalty due to the shield getting in the way (this likewise drops to -1 if the shield is made from mithral). The price is the same as that of a masterwork heavy steel shield make the regular way (170 gp). A Mithral version costs 1,020 gp.

If fighting with two weapons with this shield, you loose your shield bonus to AC unless you have the Improved Shield Bash feat. Fighting with a two-handed weapon or ranged weapon causes you to loose the shield bonus regardless. Spellcasting, while subject to spell failure, may be done with your shield hand, allowing the odd Warforged cleric or spellsword to cast spells while armed and armored.

Note for DMs: if you wish to allow it, you could rule that due to the off-hand being left free to move, the shield incurs 5% less arcane spell failure (down to 10% (or none if it's mithral)).

gollark: I finally updated that.

gollark: Also, you can view the code here: https://github.com/osmarks/dragoncave-egg-time-finder

gollark: I've made a v1.7 which drops the fudging behavior *but* still might be inaccurate. You may need to uninstall any previous versions, I'm not entirely sure.IMPORTANT NOTES: always manually check the time of death after using it - it should only take a minute or so to do that since it tells you roughly when it is (should be accurate to within 15 seconds at least); it may be against the rules (*hopefully* not? They're very vague); only tested in Firefox, might work in Chrome.

gollark: It never came up much in testing since my computer's clock is probably more accurate than the average Windows-y configuration.

gollark: There *might* be a way to get it to be synced to some other time source, I'll have to see.
