Wizard Shield power
Jul 10th, 2008 at 12:19am
 
Wizard, level 2 Utility, Sheild, page 161

How does it work?

It looks to me that as soon as I am hit I can activate my shield and my AC is now +4.  If the monster got a 17 against my AC 15 he now has missed me (15+4=19).  Also, for any other attacks, until my turn is done, my AC is +4.

I can only cast it when I get hit but I interrupt his damage roll and might make him miss me.



Anyone else read it differently?   I think the cleric did something like this last game but I don't know what power he did.  I know he did something we had some sort of confusion with.

that seems right to me. it is an interrupt so that you don't activate it and not get attacked, thus wasting it. it sucks that it is only one turn, but that could be all the difference you need some times, right? it's like they say: the best defense is not getting hit in the first place.

As an encounter power its very cinematic. Throwing up an arcane shield that would otherwise crush your skull, it seems much more satisfying than casting mage armor even if a mage armor clone would be more effective.

Whether there are ghosts in that house is not for me to say! But, there are far more dangerous things than ghosts.
