Three Bonus Spells for PF1 - the Spellshield series (Patreon)

Inspired by @r0d3n's spellsword (a spell from an official Pathfinder 1e sourcebook I was developer on), and weaponwand (which I had nothing to do with but think is amazingly cool), here are three bonus spells not connected to anything else I'm doing atm, exclusively for my Patrons!

Spellshield, LesserSchool transmutation; Level antipaladin 1, bard 1, bloodrager 1, cleric 1, druid 1, inquisitor 1, magus 1, occultist 1, paladin 1, ranger 1Casting Time 1 roundComponents V, S, F (a magic wand)Range touchEffect one shield you are proficient with, sized appropriately for youDuration 10 minutes/levelSaving Throw Will negates (harmless, object); Spell Resistance yes (harmless, object)

When you cast this spell on a shield, you cause an extradimensional space to open within the shield. As part of the casting, you can insert a single magic wand into the shield’s extradimensional space, after which the space closes. For the spell’s duration, when you are wielding the transmuted shield you are also considered to be wielding the wand as well. If the wand can be used to make attacks, you can attack normally with the shield or use the shield as if it were the merged wand. If the effect created by the wand requires an attack roll to successfully strike a foe, you can make the attack roll as if you were making an attack with the wand, or as if attacking with the shield at its highest bonus (including any bonuses the shield would normally receive). Doing so does not allow you to add the weapon’s damage to the attack, but instead allows you to use your skill with the weapon to boost your chance of hitting with the rod or staff’s attack, spell, or effect.

Additionally, holding a shield affected by this spell with one of your hands does not prevent that hand from fulfilling somatic components of spells (though anything else that would prevent that hand from doing so still affects it normally).

A single shield cannot be affected by more than one spellshield spell (including spellshield, greater spellshield, and lesser spellshield).

This spell functions as lesser spellshield, except as noted above and as follows. Rather than a wand, you may choose to place a magic rod in the affected shield.

SupportI am fighting cancer. I'm currently on chemo, and likely will be for months. The total cost of my treatment is high, and constantly rising, despite my having insurance.

If you want to help me cover cancer treatment costs, right now, the main way to offer your support is to purchase Like A Boss, a charity project that friends and colleagues within the game industry created to help pay my medical costs. You can pick it up here or here.
