I seem to recall reading about an animated tower shield someplace and sadly the search is down. I cannot remember which book it is in offhand or if it was just something I read on the boards. Anyone got the lowdown on this item? Only thing I can think of is casting animate object on a tower shield and poly any object to give it little legs to run beside you lol.

the dungeon master's guide.

Animated
Upon command, an animated shield floats within 2 feet of the wielder, protecting her as if she were using it herself but freeing up both her hands. Only one shield can protect a character at a time. A character with an animated shield still takes any penalties associated with shield use, such as armor check penalty, arcane spell failure chance, and nonproficiency.

Strong transmutation; CL 12th; Craft Magic Arms and Armor, animate objects; Price +2 bonus.
