[PnP] Magic Shields

[Julian Draven]

I'd agree with the shield giving an EL bonus to the user, provided the user is trained in shields.Not sure I agree about weapon weight, though. Might actually be a hindrance. If you've trained all your life with a 2 pound scimitar, but a magic scimitar weighs 3 ounces. Might mess up your skills.

Shouldn't magic shields be able to reduce the to-hit chance of an attacker?
A sword can increase its hit chance...AND increase its damage caused...
>From the v2 Magic Book #2:
WeaponsA) Hit Chance — EL (used as weapon expertise)B) Fatigue Value — 1+(EL*2).C) Strength — EL/2 (RD) (The increase in the normal WSB).Armor
A) Armor Value — (EL+1)/2 (RD) (Increase over normal AV).
B) Weight — (EL+1)*5% (A percentage the weight can be increased ordecreased)
Shields
A) Armor Value — EL (The increase over the normal AV).
B) Weight — (EL+1)*5% (A percentage the weight can be increased ordecreased)
It just seems like shields should have that effect.  Also, the weapons should be able to be made lighter.My 2BB.
