Descriptions

Absorbing Shield ( 50,170 )
Aura strong transmutation ; CL 17th
DESCRIPTION
This +1 heavy steel shield is made of metal, but its color is flat black that seems to absorb light. Once every 2 days, on command, it can disintegrate an object that it touches, as the spell but requiring a melee touch attack. This effect only functions as an attack—it can't be activated to target a creature or weapon as it strikes the shield.
CONSTRUCTION
Requirements Craft magic arms and armor, disintegrate Cost 25,085
Avalanche Shield ( 19170 )
Aura strong evocation ; CL 12th
DESCRIPTION
The front of this +1 bashing heavy steel shield looks as though it is crafted from hundreds of bits of rubble and larger stones. When used to make a shield bash attack, stones fall from shield and cling to the target of the shield bash. The target must succeed at a DC 14 Fortitude saving throw or be entangled for 1d4 rounds. Once per day on command, the target's wielder can choose to petrify the target of a shield bash instead. The target must succeed at a DC 16 Fortitude saving throw or become petrified for 1 minute.

Battlement Shield ( 16180 )
Aura moderate conjuration ; CL 9th
DESCRIPTION
Once per day on command, this +2 tower shield can transform into a solid, 1-foot-thick, 10-foot-by-10-foot wall of masonry with a battlement on top and an arrow slit in each 5-foot length. The wall acts as cover just like any physical wall. The wielder can touch the wall with one hand and command it to revert to a tower shield either resting on the ground and balanced against his hand or strapped to his arm in the normal fashion. The wall has all the characteristics of any other foot-thick wall of masonry (hardness 8, 90 hit points, break DC 35). Attacks sufficient to destroy the wall cause it to immediately transform back into a shield, which loses half its hit points and gains the broken condition. The shield remains in wall form until destroyed or commanded to return to shield form. The wall cannot appear in a space too small to accommodate it.
CONSTRUCTION
Requirements Craft Magic Arms and Armor, wall of stone Cost 8090
Belligerent Shield ( 36,170 )
Aura strong transmutation ; CL 12th
DESCRIPTION
This +1 animated bashing heavy steel shield rattles in anticipation during battle. When loosed into the air to defend its wearer, the belligerent shield attacks as well as defends. Each round starting the round after animation, the shield makes a single shield bash attack against a foe of its wearer's choice within the wearer's reach. This works as a standard shield bash attack using the wearer's normal attack bonus with the shield, except that the wearer retains the shield bonus to AC, and while the shield's attack is treated as an off-hand attack, the wearer does not take off-hand penalties on her own attacks unless she is fighting with two weapons herself. If the wearer has any feats or abilities that benefit shield bashing attacks, they apply to attacks made by the belligerent shield.

Burglar's Buckler ( 4655 )
Aura faint transmutation ; CL 5th
DESCRIPTION
"This unassuming +1 buckler has an array of small tools and implements embedded into the backside of its rim, able to be folded and snapped out for use at a moment's notice to attack, defend, or accomplish roguish tasks. A burglar's buckler grants the wielder a +2 competence bonus on Disable Device and Sleight of Hand checks, combat maneuver checks made to perform dirty tricks, and to CMD against dirty tricks. Once per day on command, the wielder may transform a burglar's buckler into any mundane tool weighing 1 to 5 pounds, such as a crowbar, hammer, saw, small shovel, grappling hook, artisan's tools, or thieves' tools. The burglar's buckler retains its normal hardness and hit points in this form and can be converted back into shield form on command."

Requirements Craft Magic Arms and Armor, major creation Cost 2327.5
Caster's Shield ( 3,153 + Special )
Aura moderate abjuration ; CL 6th
DESCRIPTION
"This +1 light wooden shield has a leather strip on the back on which a spellcaster can scribe a single spell as on a scroll. A spell so scribed requires half the normal cost in raw materials. The strip cannot accommodate spells of higher than 3rd level. The strip is reusable. A random caster's shield has a 50% chance of having a single medium scroll spell on it. The spell is divine (01–80 on d%) or arcane (81–100). A caster's shield has a 5% arcane spell failure chance. The cost of a caster's shield is 3,153 gp plus the value of the scroll if one is currently scribed."

Dragonslayer's Shield ( 7170 )
Aura faint abjuration ; CL 5th
DESCRIPTION
This +2 heavy steel shield has a distinct curve to its shape and often bears the device of a valiant knight. The wearer of this shield gains a +2 bonus on Reflex saves against effects that originate or burst from a point outside his own square, as though he had cover. It does not protect against spread effects. This bonus does not stack with that granted by actual cover or give cover to any creature other than the wearer. In addition, the dragonslayer's shield grants its wielder a +2 morale bonus on Will saves against the frightful presence ability.
CONSTRUCTION

Elysian Shield ( 52620 )
Aura strong abjuration ; CL 13th
DESCRIPTION
This +2 ghost-touch tower shield is engraved with funerary runes depicting the peaceful rest of the contented dead. The wielder of an elysian shield is immune to the create spawn ability of undead, and once per day as an immediate action can negate a single energy drain, ability drain, or ability damage attack by an undead creature. In addition, once per day as a standard action, the wielder can release a wave of positive energy that panics undead, as the Turn Undead feat (Will DC 20 negates).
CONSTRUCTION
Requirements Craft Magic Arms and Armor, Turn Undead, death ward, etherealness Cost 26310
Force Tower ( 46030 )
Aura moderate evocation ; CL 7th
DESCRIPTION
This +1 arrow deflection ghost-touch mithral tower shield glows with a perpetual bluish radiance. Infused with magical force, a force tower renders its wielder immune to magic missiles and also allows its wielder to use its arrow deflection special ability to deflect magical rays and ranged touch attacks. The Reflex save DC to deflect such attacks is equal to 20 + the level of the spell (or 1/2 the class level or Hit Dice of the creature that created the effect, if a supernatural effect). If a spell or effect creates multiple rays or attacks, the force tower deflects only one of them per round.
CONSTRUCTION
Requirements Craft Magic Arms and Armor, etherealness, resilient sphere, shield Cost 23015
Fortress Shield ( 19180 )
Aura moderate conjuration ; CL 11th
DESCRIPTION
The wearer of this +1 tower shield may, as a full-round action, transform the shield into a 1-inch-thick cube of iron that springs into being around him, completely enclosing his space. The cube has hardness 10 and 30 hit points per side. This cube grants the wearer total cover against everything outside the cube, including (as it is perfectly sealed) swarms and gas attacks. The inside of the cube is dark, and air cannot get in or out so the wearer must hold his breath starting on the third round after activating the cube. Attacks sufficient to destroy one side of the cube cause it to immediately transform back into a shield, which loses half its hit points and gains the broken condition. Otherwise, the cube reverts to shield form upon command, if the wearer moves from his current space, or if the wearer falls unconscious or dies.

Lion's Shield ( 9,170 )
Aura moderate conjuration ; CL 10th
DESCRIPTION
This +2 heavy steel shield is fashioned to appear to be a roaring lion's head. Three times per day as a free action, the lion's head can be commanded to attack (independently of the shield wearer), biting with the wielder's base attack bonus (including multiple attacks, if the wielder has them) and dealing 2d6 points of damage. This attack is in addition to any actions performed by the wielder.

Living Steel Heavy Shield ( 120 )
Aura none (nonmagical) ; CL N/A
DESCRIPTION
This nonmagical heavy steel shield is made out of living steel. It has no enhancement bonus, but its material and construction can damage metal weapons that strike it. Whenever the wielder of a metal weapon (other than one made of adamantine) rolls a natural 1 on an attack against a creature wielding this shield, the item must make a DC 20 Fortitude save or gain the broken condition. If the weapon already has the broken condition, it is instead destroyed.

Mithral Heavy Shield ( 1020 )

Quick Block Buckler ( 36155 )
Aura strong abjuration ; CL 14th

When used in this way, the buckler's enhancement bonus increases by +2 against that attack. The buckler's user must decide to use this ability before the attack roll is made. When the shield's user blocks a melee attack in this way, it cannot use its arrow deflection special ability for 1 round.
