Caster's Shield

This +1 light wooden shield has a small leather strip on the back on which a spellcaster can scribe a single spell as on a scroll. A spell so scribed has only half the base raw material cost (see page 287). Experience point and component costs remain the same. The strip cannot accommodate spells of higher than 3rd level. The strip is reusable.

A random caster ‘s shield has a 50% chance of having a single medium scroll spell on it. The spell is divine (01—80 on d%) or arcane (81—100).

A caster’s shield has a 5% arcane spell failure chance.
