D20:Ranged Armor Enhancment


Ranged: The wielder of a ranged shield can throw it in combat, with a range increment of 30 feet. While in the air, the shield is treated in all ways as a ranged weapon and cannot be blocked or grabbed except by those with appropriate feats. No matter the size of the wielder, a buckler or light shield deals 1d6 points of damage and a heavy one 1d8 points. (A tower shield cannot be created with this special ability.) The wielder?s Strength modifier and the shield?s enhancement bonus add to the base damage.
A ranged shield flies through the air back to the creature that threw it. It returns to the wielder just before the creature?s next turn (and is therefore ready to use again in that turn).
Catching a ranged shield when it comes back is a free action. If the wielder can?t catch it, or if the wielder has moved since throwing it, the shield drops to the ground in the square from which it was thrown.
Faint psychokinesis; ML 5th; Craft Psionic Arms and Armor, far hand; Price +1 bonus.
