Iron Shield Damage Reduction 5 Hit Points 10 (3d6) Cost 10 gp Wooden Shield Damage Reduction 3 Hit Points 7 (2d6) Cost 5 gp A DM may decide you must be proficient in a different tool if you attempt to repair shields created from hide, scales, or are magical items. You must be proficient with shields and either Smith’s Tools for metal shields or Woodcarver’s Tools for wooden shields. If you have a broken shield, that isn’t destroyed, over the course of a short rest, you can restore a number of hit points to the shield equal to two times your proficiency bonus. If this damage would reduce a shield’s hit points to 0, it is destroyed and the wielder would take any remaining damage leftover in addition to the normal damage they would take from the attack. The shield reduces the amount of damage from the attack equal to its Damage Reduction, any remaining damage is then split equally between the shield’s hit points and the wielder. If they are successfully hit by an attack from a creature that they can see, they can use their reaction to impose their shield to block the attack. Shield BlockĪ creature that is proficient with shields can take a special reaction while they are wielding a shield. This will mean that we get to look at making hit points for shields, so that’s exciting.
#Pathfinder 2e update
The mechanic is pretty easy to add in, we’ll update some wording and give those who are proficient with shields a bit more use out of it beyond it taking up a hand and giving them a +2 bonus to their Armor Class. You and the shield each take any remaining damage, possibly breaking or destroying the shield.

Your shield prevents you from taking an amount of damage up to the shield’s Hardness. You snap your shield in place to ward off a blow. Trigger While you have your shield raised, you would take damage from a physical attack. A portion of that damage is removed thanks to the hardiness of the shield, the rest of that damage is then given to the shield and its wielder. The setup is simple, when they are successfully hit while they are wielding a shield, they can use their reaction to throw their shield up and block some of that damage. The first one we are going to look at is something that can give fighters, druids, paladins, and others a bit more use out of their reactions beyond Attacks of Opportunity, as well as gives them a reason to think about their shield. On a side note, if you are interested in learning more about Pathfinder 2e, check out 2e., Paizo freely makes all rules available to the public and it is wonderful just clicking around and being inspired by monsters, magic items, spells, ideas, and more. These ideas are not in any particular order of greatness or simplicity. I’m looking at Pathfinder 2e today, mostly because I’m quite enamored with its huge amount of options for players and GMs, but there are plenty of mechanics to be found in other games like Blades in the Dark or Tales from the Loop. Most systems have several gems within their pages, and the more you expose yourself to new ideas, the better you can fine-tune a game experience for your table. I enjoy both systems and see plenty of places where I can steal mechanics or ideas from one to put in the other and this includes other systems I’ve run like FFG Star Wars, Starfinder, and others.
I run three games every week, two with D&D 5e and one with Pathfinder 2e. One of the best ways you can get better at being a Game Master, in my humble opinion, is from playing a wide variety of systems and finding new ideas that you like and want to implement in some fashion into your regular games.
While I think we should play a wide variety of games, not every table is willing to learn new rules. There are a lot of great ideas within the pages of the Pathfinder Second Edition ruleset, and plenty of them are ripe for stealing for your D&D 5e games.
