Let's assume I'm a Cleric who uses Chain Spell on shield other. All the targets have the appropriate focus. How is damage split? |

Hood - My first answer to all your build questions; past, present, and future. Speaking of which: Don't even need TO for this. Any decent Hood build, especially one with Celerity, one-rounds [Azathoth, the most powerful greater deity from d20 Cthulu]. Does it bug anyone else that we've reached the point where characters who can obliterate a greater deity in one round are considered "decent?"

All the damage comes at you. In BoED there is a spell that's basically Chain Shield Other without the metamagic and at a lower level.

What's the best way to take advantage of that? Some ubertank/caster build or something?

More or less. Delay Death + Masochism perhaps.
I've always thought Psions were in better position to abuse this, they have Vigor + Share Spells with Psicrystal (Which has 8 Hardness btw), plus a number of other tanky powers.

Get Regeneration on the Tank so the damage is Nonlethal. Even if it knocks the Tank out, the effect will continue.

It always seems like the barrels around here have something in them.

That's a good job for a monk actually since he can't do anything else might as well soak up all the damage. Lol |

I wonder if I can somehow force such an effect on a target? Then, my blasts will do times n the damage, and ignore the target's save. http://www.d20srd.org/srd/psionic/powers/sharePainForced.htmWorks, but isn't enough and has a save. |

This + Delay Death and Beastland Ferocity, both made Persistent if at all possible. A delayed Revivify when the durations are about to wear off is handy, too.

Binders can use a vestige that sends half the damage from them to a target. One more reason why Archivist 3/Binder 1/Anima Mage 10/Tenebrous Apostate 5/Tainted Sorcerer 1 is the strongest build ever. JaronK |

I was just fiddling around with shield other, as I'm currently playing a very tanky character. and I believe that I may have found the sollution, since the wording is as it is.
the spell distinctly say: "the subject takes only half damage from all wounds and attacks" and then goes on to say: "The amount of damage not taken by the warded creature is taken by you". so what if I can't take the damage? say, if I have a mystic shield on me for instance (anouroch p.142). the spell shields me from all magic effects of level 6 and lower.
this should mean that the target of the shield other should still only take half damage, but the damage never gets to me. easy-peasy.
