if we merged 'shield bonus to AC' and deflection bonus into a single bonus, I assume that would mean shields could give a deflection bonus between +1 (un-enchanted buckler) and +13 (+9 enchanted tower shield), and would apply to AC, touch, and ff AC. By contrast, ring of protection could only give +1 to +9 (also applying to all 3 AC's). Is this how you envisioned this working? | if we merged 'shield bonus to AC' and deflection bonus into a single bonus, I assume that would mean shields could give a deflection bonus between +1 (un-enchanted buckler) and +13 (+9 enchanted tower shield), and would apply to AC, touch, and ff AC.

as a note, by getting rid of 'shield enhancement bonus', we've effectively cut up to 9 points of AC out of the top end of possible ACs (formerly, +9 tower shield and +9 ring of prot = 22 AC)... we /could/ put some of this back into shields by letting the magic deflection bonus range go above +9 (say, up to +14? that would make a +14 tower shield = 18 AC). A +14 heavy shield would cap at 16 AC, while a ring of protection would cap at +9. Regardless of whether we do this, we'll still probably need to review monster to-hits against our projected best AC. | |||
