SRD Talk:Shield

Stacking bonuses

is there a reason why someone would not use this spell on a shield when creating an item over an enhancement bonus?--67.188.247.94 00:36, 22 May 2009 (MDT)

Because it offers a shield bonus to AC which does not stack with the shield's AC bonus. --TK-Squared 00:38, 22 May 2009 (MDT)

which would make a buckler act like a +2 heavy shield for the same price of the +2 enhancement? (2*2*1000=4000) (1*1*2000*2=4000) it would also stop magic missile and only have the disadvantages of a buckler?--67.188.247.94 13:23, 22 May 2009 (MDT)

When pricing, you always start with the best known pricing. So in this case, a buckler which acts like a +2 heavy shield is a +3 buckler and would be priced as a +3 buckler. It doesn't matter WHERE the bonuses come from. What costs gp is the final benefit. --Dmilewski 23:26, 24 May 2009 (MDT)
