Shield Master Prerequisites Skills: Spellcraft 8 ranks, Knowledge (arcana) 5 ranks Feats: Spell Focus (abjuration) Spells: Able to cast shield and one other spell with the force descriptor Lv BAB Fort Ref Will Special Caster level 1 +0 +0 +0 +2 Improved shield +1 caster level 2 +1 +0 +0 +3 Spell-like ability +1 caster level 3 +1 +1 +1 +3 Shield strike +1 caster level 4 +2 +1 +1 +4 Enhanced shield +1 caster level 5 +2 +1 +1 +4 Shield blade +1 caster level Improved Shield: When a shield master casts the shield spell, the AC bonus is increased by an amount equal to his class level. Spell-like ability (Sp): At 2nd level, a shield master may cast shield once per day as a spell-like ability. His caster level is equal to his caster level when casting the shield spell. Shield Strike: At 3rd level, a shield master may make shield bash attacks with the shield created by a shield spell. This is a force effect and thus can strike ethereal foes. Enhanced shield: At 4th level, a shield master may modify a shield spell as he casts it. Select either greater shield (+6 AC bonus) or repelling shield (Complete Mage). Whenever a shield master casts shield, he may instead gain the effects of the spell chosen. This counts as a shield spell for his Improved Shield ability. Remember that these are 3rd level spells. Shield blade (Su): At 5th level, as a standard action, a shield master may end a shield spell affecting himself to make a ranged touched attack with a range of close. If it hits, this attack deals 1d6 points of force damage plus 1 point of damage per caster level to the target.
