Question 40:If I am using an animated tower shield made for a medium creature and then wild shape (as a normal druid) into a large creature what happens? I think that the line " A character with an animated shield still takes any penalties associated with shield use" implies that the shield becomes non-effective since a large creature cannot use a medium sized shield. Anyone deal with this before? Normally, when you magically change sizes, your gear grows or shrinks to match, unless left unattended. Normally as a druid all your gear melds into your new form. Are you saying the animated shield would meld into my new form as well? Depends on whether you consider the shield to be wielded by you. It's useless either way: It's either melded into your form, or is too small to use. |

A gygaxian dungeon is like the world's most messed up game show.
Behind door number one: INSTANT DEATH!
Behind door number 2: A magic crown!
Behind door number 3: 4d6 giant bees, and THREE HUNDRED POUNDS OF HONEY! They don't/haven't, was the point. 3.5 is as dead as people not liking nice tits.
Sometimes, their tits (3.5) get enhancements (houserules), but that doesn't mean people don't like nice tits.
Though sometimes, the surgeon (DM) botches them pretty bad...
Best metaphor I have seen in a long time. I give you much fu. Three Errata for the Mage-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Barbarian-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Monks doomed to die,
One for the Wizard on his dark throne
In the Land of Charop where the Shadows lie. |

It's useless either way: It's either melded into your form, or is too small to use. Seems you're right. I'm pretty sure I can activate a large animated shield. Then Wild Shape. I look at what it says and I don't think the animated shield will meld into my new form because under animated it says "protecting her as if she were using it herself but freeing up both her hands". Unless someone else has something to say I'm going to stick with this interpretation and just get a large tower shield. |

A40 first note this: quote(SRD) Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Druids are proficient with the following weapons: club, dagger, dart, quarterstaff, scimitar, sickle, shortspear, sling, and spear. They are also proficient with all natural attacks (claw, bite, and so forth) of any form they assume with wild shape (see below). Druids are proficient with light and medium armor but are prohibited from wearing metal armor; thus, they may wear only padded, leather, or hide armor. (A druid may also wear wooden armor that has been altered by the ironwood spell so that it functions as though it were steel. See the ironwood spell description) Druids are proficient with shields ( except tower shields) but must use only wooden ones. A druid who wears prohibited armor or carries a prohibited shield is unable to cast druid spells or use any of her supernatural or spell-like class abilities while doing so and for 24 hours thereafter. further as for what is Melded into thier form .... note this: Any gear worn or carried by the druid melds into the new form and becomes nonfunctional. When the druid reverts to her true form, any objects previously melded into the new form reappear in the same location on her body that they previously occupied and are once again functional. Any new items worn in the assumed form fall off and land at the druid's feet. then Note this.... an animated shield floats within 2 feet of the wielder  |

Note that proficiency and forbiddance are not related - the druid could conceivably have a dragonhide tower shield and no problem would arise from it. Same with fullplate. |

Tower shields are normally wooden anyway, as... Races of Stone I think, had specifically a "Steel Tower Shield".

Except armor and weapons, which I think would include shields (they're listed under armor). |

If the magic has them change size, yes. Change form (like Polymorph or Wildshape), no, even if they do change size via that. |

I am constantly amazed by how many DM's ban Tomb of Battle. The book doesn't even exist! Quotes: By yes, she means no.
That explains so much about my life. hiicantcomeupwithacharacterthatisntaghostwhyisthatamijustretardedorsomething
Why would you even do this? It hurts my eyes and looks like you ate your keyboard before suffering an attack of explosive diarrhea. If using Genesis to hide your phylactry, set it at -300 degrees farenheit. See how do-gooders fare with a liquid atmosphere. |

 If you stop ignoring 289 pages telling what the intent is to stretch "more power" in your own god complexion of your interpretation trumps all to cover ability adjustments from aging then I will ignore a quarter page of rules that exist within a sidebar.
I think in this case the grammar is less important than whether the Str and Dex bonus provided to your created undead scales.

Q43'ish: If you are a normal, run of the mill Human and cast Lesser Holy Transformation, your type temporarily changes to [Outsider] for the duration of the spell. Can you then cast Alter Self and/or Polymorph to assume the form of an even better Outsider? Or would the spells not "stack" like that?
