Shield of Faith

[Nylo]

Shield of Faith currently grants +1 deflection - it should grant +2.

This spell creates a shimmering, magical field around the touched creature that averts attacks. The spell grants the subject a +2 deflection bonus to AC, with an additional +1 to the bonus for every six levels you have (maximum +5 deflection bonus at 18th level).

Where is that quote from?

[Briek]

That quote is directly from the players handbook.

Of course in FK it may depend on your skill level with the spell?

The same issue was brought up with Barkskin.

If you suck at the spell when you cast Barkskin, you get a +0 natural AC bonus... There's a minimum to that, too, but FK does not support cannon in either instances.

FK does not support cannon in either instances.

Well, the game wouldn't be very hard if you could just visit a trainer and gain skills and spells at full power right away

I'm not sure if you're making a joke, but in case I wasn't clear: FK does not currently support cannon's references to the minimum bonus these spells are supposed to give. The minimum bonus you should possibly get from Shield of Faith is +2 Deflection AC. The minimum bonus you should get from Barkskin is +2 Natural AC.

I'm getting a +2 bonus to deflection from Shield of Faith. I'm at apprentice level.

[Selveem]

I'm getting a +2 bonus to deflection from Shield of Faith. I'm at apprentice level.

And at Journeyman I'm getting a +3. It definitely levels as your skill in it increases (I'm not sure if it goes to the +5 max..), but that's not really the point. These spells have a minimum bonus that it doesn't follow. I think Barkskin is the worse one. I can understand a minimum +1 instead of +2 for Shield of Faith as, with almost all other spells, it strengthens as you skill up, but getting +0 for casting a benediction is a bit silly and encourages spamming for little reason.

[Nylo]

I should have specified - I was confused because I was at apprentice, with only +1. I can understand it being low before that.
