Abjuration [Force]
Level: Sorcerer 3, Wizard 3
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Target: You
You create a shield of force that can push your attackers away from you.
Repelling shield creates an invisible, tower shield-sized mobile disk of force that hovers in front of you. It negates magic missile attacks directed at you. The disk also provides a +4 shield bonus to AC. This bonus applies against incorporeal touch attacks, since it is a force effect. The shield has no armor check penalty or arcane spell failure chance. Unlike with a normal tower shield, you can’t use the shield spell for cover.
While you are protected by repelling shield, any adjacent creature that makes a melee attack against you is also pushed 5 feet away from you after the attack is resolved. A successful Reflex save negates this effect, and spell resistance applies. You can choose the direction of the creature’s movement, as long as it ends up farther away from you than it began. You can’t push a creature into a space that it couldn’t legally occupy (such as a wall). If no legal space exists to push the creature, it is unaffected.
